> I know the evil of my ancestors because I am those people. The balance is delicate in the extreme. I know that few of ;you who read my words have ever thought about your ancestors this way. It has not occurred to you that your ancestors were survivors and that the survival itself sometimes involved savage decisions, a kind of wanton brutality which civilized humankind works very hard to suppress. What price will you pay for that suppression? Will you accept your won extinction?

olstoy is Russia past, and Dostoevsky is the future. Tolstoy is connected with the West with all his gut. He is the great spokesman of the spirit of Peter, even though he denies it ... This is invariably Western denial. The guillotine was also the legitimate daughter of Versailles. This is Tolstoy's bubbling hatred that is broadcasting against Europe, from which it is not able to free itself. He hates her in himself, he hates himself. This makes Tolstoy the father of Bolshevism ...

Tolstoy is an overwhelmingly great reason, "enlightened" and "socially oriented." Everything that he sees around him takes on a late form of a problem inherent in a large city and the West. What is the problem, Dostoevsky is generally unknown. Meanwhile, Tolstoy is an event inside European civilization. He stands in the middle between Peter the Great and Bolshevism. All of them do not see the Russian land point-blank ...

Dostoevsky cannot be counted among anyone except the apostles of the first Christianity. Dostoevsky is a saint, and Tolstoy is only a revolutionary. From him one, the true heir of Peter, comes Bolshevism, this is not the opposite, but the last consequence of the spirit of Peter, the utter degradation of the metaphysical social ...

The authentic Russian is a student of Dostoevsky, although he does not read it. He himself is part of Dostoevsky. If the Bolsheviks, who see themselves as their equal in Christ, simply a social revolutionary, were not so spiritually narrow, they would have recognized their true enemy in Dostoevsky. What gave this revolution its scope was not the hatred of the intelligentsia. It was the people who, without hatred, only from the desire to heal from the disease, destroyed the western world with the hands of his own scum, and then sent after them themselves - with the same road; a people yearning for its own life form, its own religion, its own future history. Tolstoy's Christianity was a misunderstanding. He spoke of Christ, and he meant Marx. Dostoevsky's Christianity belongs to the future millennium
