"Voltaire" about us?

So, they free the slave. “You come on yourself,” they say to him, “you are now in the answer. You can swim - well, no - drown, yours, yours. ” And what about a slave? And here's what: “Barin, do not, for the sake of God, do not leave me, do not leave me, I will serve you faithfully and truth, just don’t leave me!”

It is difficult to be free. It is difficult to answer for yourself - especially from the habit.

We still live in a Soviet country. Political leadership - and not only political - for the most part consists of people that the Soviet system formed. They were born in the Soviet Union, went to the Soviet kindergarten, to the Soviet school, they were pioneers and Komsomol members, most were members of the CPSU, they were a Soviet product. And nothing can be done about it: people are not lizards, they cannot get rid of the old tail and grow a new one. But this applies not only to the leadership of the country, but to almost every Russian, who is at least 40 years old.
