Quote by Boris Akunin

“You can get arrested if you live in Russia, and you say that there is war in Ukraine. You can only say “special operation”. There is a popular joke in Russia: Tolstoy’s War and Peace should be now renamed Special Operation and Peace.”

“Every second I am dying inside, for Ukraine. I'm dying for Afghanistan, I'm dying for Palestine, I'm dying for Kashmir. Even my pen pours blood. And this bleeding won't stop till I put an end to the bloodshed of the innocents.”

“War is Expensive (The Sonnet) War is expensive, peace is free, Yet war is petty, peace is priceless. War is childish, peace is for adults, Yet war is complex, peace is child's play. War is for fools, peace is for the sage, Yet sages sustain war, deeming peace foolish. War is strain on the brain, peace only needs love, Yet intellectuals justify war, calling peace rubbish. War is good for maintaining control over the people, Hence imperialists peddle war in the name of justice. But all imperialists are the fault of the civilians, All wars are a failure of our civilized citizenship. No war is tougher than the civilians of the world. Exercise that potential to abolish all imperial gall.”

“Don't be like the nitwit Americans of January 6 who felt threatened by the equalization of the American people, instead, be like those brave Russians who have the guts to stand up for life, liberty and equality of their neighbors, even at the risk of being persecuted as traitor to their country.”

“When Germany and Russia signed the first Nord Stream pipeline deal in 2005, enormously increasing the flow of Gazprom's gas to the West, it was denounced by Poland’s foreign minister as a second coming of the Hitler-Stalin Pact that had sealed Poland’s fate in 1939. When Moscow tweaked Ukraine’s gas prices over the winter of 2005-2006, it only confirmed the Poles’ worst fears.”

“Моя Россия Моя Ответственность (Сонет Гражданских Прав) Моя Россия, моя любовь, мне жаль, Что мир стал нашим врагом. Но разве можно их винить! Мы сделали террориста нашим лидером. Пробудитесь, встаньте, товарищи мои, Вдохновляйтесь доблестью Волги! Хватит этой апатии, пришло время вытеснить, Домашний вирус и продезинфицировать нашу нацию. Мы выпустили террориста на наших соседей, Кто ответит за это кровопролитие - мы, кто еще! Даже сейчас, если мы не исправим нашу ошибку, Одна первобытная обезьяна уничтожит нашу планету. Моя Россия моя ответственность, это золотой закон. Хватит завоеваний! Пришло время быть человеком.”
