The books of Tolstoy and Dostoevsky are not yet being burned in the squares, and that is nice.
Just give it time and you'll see it out of your window. Or perhaps you'll be the one burning them.

"Патриотизм в самом простом, ясном и несомненном значении своем есть не что иное для правителей, как орудие для достижения властолюбивых и корыстных целей, а для управляемых — отречение от человеческого достоинства, разума, совести и рабское подчинение себя тем, кто во власти. Так он и проповедуется везде, где проповедуется патриотизм. Патриотизм есть рабство." - Лев Толстой,
Христианство и патриотизм"Patriotism in its simplest, clearest and most undoubted meaning is nothing else for rulers, as a tool for achieving power-hungry and selfish goals, and for those who are ruled, it is a renunciation of human dignity, reason, conscience, and slavish submission of oneself to those who are in power. This is how it is preached wherever patriotism is preached. Patriotism is slavery." - Lev Tolstoy,
Christianity and patriotismBTW, pro-Putin zombies (including be.open) will be burning Tolstoy's books sooner rather than later.
