Valery Solovey. The blood and soil of Russian history (№ 285476)

We should openly and honestly admit that twice in the twentieth century Russian people single-handedly ruined the state and the country, which he created himself at the cost of enormous sacrifices and efforts. <...> The Soviet Union first died in millions of Russian hearts and then ceased to exist as a political and legal category and a social construction. The clearest evidence of his inner exhaustion is the lack of a clear and strong reaction - elite and mass - to destruction of the country.
