When behind the century, when the bones decayed and the marble crumbled, we talk about the past calmly and judiciously. True. When events take place before our eyes, when we are participants in them, it is difficult to remain uninterested. Impatience, expansiveness, acrimony - a bad help, but ... an excellent document. No one knows which paradigm will prevail in the future, but leaving a document dripping with warm blood is a great benefit to history.

Let those whose gift is unlimited dare,
Who from the first experiments is marked by Apollo.

But without deep secrets and without great charms.
