Mikhail Bulgakov. The white guard (№ 443097)

Why, if from April, instead of breaking this vile comedy with Ukrainization, he would begin the formation of officer corps, we would now take Moscow. Understand that here in the City he would have raised an army of fifty thousand, and what an army! Selected, the best, because all the junkers, all the students, high school students, officers, and there are thousands of them in the City, would all go with a dear soul. Not only would there be no spirit in Little Russia, but we would have swatted Trotsky in Moscow like a fly. The very moment: after all, they say they eat cats there. He would, son of a bitch, save Russia.
