A couple of phrases of the day: Dmitry Bykov vs German goring

People only get fat from oil!

But one thing I can say for sure: some walls about the fact that Russia must first solve their household problems, and then build modern equipment and scare the world - these walls, in my opinion, are demagogical and unfounded, because the choice is very simple ... And now we can ask: is it not better to provide their people with butter than space? Here I am with those people who choose space. Because the oil will not be in any case ... The fact is that there will never be everyday well-being in Russia ... It will always be a country of such collective and large-scale disorders ... After all, for some reason, Korolev also dreamed of space, and not about the Russians to live in comfortable houses. For some reason, a cosmic dream or any superhuman dream is dominant in Russia. It is necessary to reconcile that this is such a country and such a type of consciousness.

Dmitry Bykov, writer, poet and publicist

However, already in the spring of 1935, huge expenses for weapons brutally undermined the economy, and import restrictions created interruptions in providing food to the population ... Goering decided to take the bull by the horns: he went to Hamburg, where the shortage of oil caused the strongest protests, and made a large meeting of NSDAP activists, which was remembered for a long time. “Party comrades, friends, I believe in the friendship of peoples,” said Goering. - That is why we are armed. If we are weak, we will depend on everyone ... In the international arena there are people who hear poorly. Only the roar of guns can make them hear them. And it is precisely the guns that we try to produce now. We have no oil, comrades, but I want to ask you: what do you prefer? Oil or guns? .. So I tell you: weapons will make us strong ... And people will only get fat from oil! ”
