Nikolai Vasilievich Gogol. (№ 290804)

Thank God for the fact that you are Russian. For now the Russian open way, and this way there is Russia itself. If only he will love Russian Russian, will love and everything that is in Russia. <...> You do not love Russia: you only know how to be sad but to get annoyed by rumors about everything bad that it is done, you all this produces only one callous annoyance, Yes, discouragement. No, if you really love Russia, you have lost have a the myopic idea that originated now many honest and even quite smart people, that is, if at the present time they have nothing can do for Russia and if they have it not needed at all. If you really love Russia, you will be eager to serve her; preferring one grain of all your current, dormant and idle life...
