“«Eso es la Tierra —pensó—. No un globo de miles de kilómetros, sino un bosque con un lago brillante, una casa escondida en la cresta de la colina, rodeada de árboles, una ladera cubierta de hierba que subía desde el agua, peces saltando y pájaros cayendo en picado para atrapar los insectos que vivían en la frontera entre el agua y el cielo. La Tierra era el ruido constante de grillos y vientos y pájaros.”

“Por mí, que se vaya al carajo la evolución. Menudo error estamos hechos. Hemos hervido de muerte este planeta dulce y sustentador de vida (el único de toda la Vía Láctea) con un siglo de euforia por el transporte. El gobierno ha declarado la guerra a las drogas, ¿no? Pues que vayan a por el petróleo, ¡eso sí que es un colocón destructivo! Con un poco de esa mierda que te metas en el coche puedes ir a ciento cincuenta por hora, atropellar al perro del vecino y cargarte la atmósfera. Oye, ya que nos ha tocado ser Homo sapiens, ¿para qué darle más vueltas? Carguémonos el chiringuito. ¿Alguien tiene una bomba atómica? ¿Quién no la tiene hoy en día?”

“To celebrate the Russian/Ukrainian partnership, in 1954 the 300th anniversary of the Pereiaslav Treaty was marked throughout the Soviet Union in an unusually grandiose manner. In addition to numerous festivities, myriad publications, and countless speeches, the Central Committee of the all-union party even issued thirteen "thesis", which argued the irreversibility of the "everlasting union" of the Ukrainians and the Russians: "The experience of history has shown that the way of fraternal union and alliance chosen by the Russians and Ukrainians was the only true way. The union of two great Slavic peoples multiplied their strength in the common struggle against all external foes, against serf owners and the bourgeoisie, again tsarism and capitalist slavery. The unshakeable friendship of the Russian and Ukrainian peoples has grown and strengthened in this struggle." To emphasize the point that the union with Moscow brought the Ukrainians great benefits, the Pereiaslav anniversary was crowned by the Russian republic's ceding of Crimea to Ukraine "as a token of friendship of the Russian people." But the "gift" of the Crimea was far less altruistic than it seemed. First, because the peninsula was the historic homeland of the Crimean Tatars whom Stalin had expelled during the Second World War, the Russians did not have the moral right to give it away nor did the Ukrainians have the right to accept it. Second, because of its proximity and economic dependence on Ukraine, the Crimea's links with Ukraine were naturally greater than with Russia. Finally, the annexation of the Crimea saddled Ukraine with economic and political problems. The deportation of the Tatars in 1944 had created economic chaos in the region and it was Kiev's budget that had to make up loses. More important was the fact that, according to the 1959 census, about 860,000 Russians and only 260,000 Ukrainians lived in the Crimea. Although Kiev attempted to bring more Ukrainians into the region after 1954, the Russians, many of whom were especially adamant in rejecting any form of Ukrainization, remained the overwhelming majority. As a result, the Crimean "gift" increased considerably the number of Russians in the Ukrainian republic. In this regard, it certainly was an appropriate way of marking the Pereiaslav Treaty.”

“В феврале 2015 года, когда отмечалось 26-летие вывода советских войск из Афганистана, Путин признается, что прекрасно понимает Брежнева: «Сейчас, когда годы проходят и когда становятся известными все больше фактов, мы понимаем лучше и лучше, что послужило тогда поводом и причиной для ввода советских войск в Афганистан. Конечно, ошибок было очень много, но были и реальные угрозы, которые в то время советское руководство пыталось купировать вводом войск в Афганистан». Символично, что именно ветераны афганской войны сыграют важнейшую роль в последующих событиях в Крыму.”

“…Україна ж не може жити, не володіючи Кримом, це буде якийсь тулуб без ніг. Крим має належати Україні, на яких умовах, це байдуже, чи буде це повне злиття, чи широка автономія, останнє повинно залежати від бажання самих кримців, але нам потрібно бути цілком убезпеченими від ворожих дій з боку Криму. У сенсі ж економічному Крим фактично не може існувати без нас.”

“If you have carefully examined hundred people you met in your life journey, it means that you have read hundred different books! Every person you know is a book; world is full of walking books; some are boring, some are marvellous, some are weak, some are powerful, but they are all useful because they all carry different experiences of different paths!”
