Boris Polevoy. (№ 413571)

The Cold War also knows its traitors, and Pasternak, in fact, in my opinion, is a literary Vlasov, a man who, living with us, eating our Soviet bread, getting a living in our Soviet publishing houses, enjoying all the benefits of a Soviet citizen, cheated on us, moved to that camp and is fighting in that camp. The Soviet court shot General Vlasov, and the whole people approved this case, because, as it was correctly said here, it was a thin grass from the field out. I think that a traitor in the Cold War must also suffer the corresponding and greatest of all possible punishments. On behalf of the Soviet public, we must tell him: "Out of our country, Mr. Pasternak. We don't want to breathe the same air with you."
