Igor Yakovenko: "In Greece, a person who avoided participation in public life was called" idiotos "and punished with public impudence"
Igor Yakovenko "Most Russians want to be away from politics. They say that we are small people, you will live less - they would live longer. They would live in ancient Athens, they would definitely be punished with atymia - public impassion, dishonor, contempt, imprisonment of civil state. A person who has undergone atimia did not have the right to perform in the national assembly, occupying positions, serve in the army. The law was harsh in politics.
