Etc. - Question of the Week #18:"Liberty or Death!"
I don't remember exactly who told that phsase which could be translated from Russian into English like this: "It's better to die standing upright than to live on knees". Tommazo Campanella, could repeat it after Spartak or Jordano Bruno. I'm not sure. Have a nice day!
Etc. - 50 Word Challenge
Here is a poem's translation from Russian into English composed in 80s. He'd been all tender and gentlness and missed his darling when they were apart. It seemed to her it was like him while she kissed another. What's the difference if it's dark in the room.
Etc. - Question of the Week #17: Why do you DailyLit?
Some people became very poor, some - fabulously rich&others just stay in the middle, between the both extremities of startling poverty&criminal luxury of a few ones on the background of a cultural disaster blown up as a biological grenade among Russian speaking population. The change of social formation's shifted us from the summit of mild socialism into the bottomless depths of wild capitalism. Such experiments are not less harmful than any bloody revolution&according to Aristotel we clearly see our govermental officials as tools of organized violence upon a single person who has internally remained Soviet in spirit&isn't able to feed by exploiting the human resources in his or her isolation inside the membrane of richness in order to hide from evils of the social inequality's realm. This site's precious as a tribune which unmasks ugly faces of modern invasion of globalization into our peaceful life shown by Russian classics via English translation many years ago.
