15 December 2007 · Leave a Comment

“[The Marches of the Dissenters] give people courage. Everything will be okay here when people start acting courageously. When people stop making excuses—‘I can’t march with this guy, I can’t march with that guy’—like capricious children. We should all go out and fight for our freedom—Russians, Muslims, Buddhists, Jews, whoever. Let’s go out and at least finally organize a decent political system.”
Eduard Limonov, quoted in Sergey Chernov, “A Rebel with a Cause,” St. Petersburg Times, 23 November 2007 (edited by Our Swimmer)
