Andre Maurois. (№ 431636)

The only thing that Russia would need to understand is that the Nobel Prize rewarded a great Russian writer who lives and works in Soviet society. In addition, the genius of Pasternak, his personal nobility and kindness are far from insulting Russia. On the contrary, they illuminate her and make her love her more than any propaganda. Russia will suffer from this in the eyes of the whole world only from the moment a person is condemned, who now arouses universal admiration and special love.
