    Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)

    In the Soviet Union everything happens slowly. Always remember that.
    A.N. (Arkady N.)

    They were right. The Soviet régime is not the embodiment of evil as you think in the West. They have laws and I broke them. I hate tea and they love tea. Who is wrong?
    Alexander Zinoviev (b. 1922)
