Это уж так. Бывает такой вот гениальный народ - ну что делать, бывает. Глянешь - гениальный народ! Но он имеет свойство плодиться и размножаться. И потом появляются дети гениального народа. И... отдыхают.

Ты видишь, Миша, - неинтересна народу такая тема. Не буди ты меня на заре... Будить народ, чтобы сказать ему, что он спит - это жестоко)

Народ нервно курит в сторонке

Цитата (via yasina@lj):

"(7) During the summer of 1917 George Buchanan became concerned about the survival of the Provisional Government.

The Russian idea of liberty is to take things easily, to claim double wages, to demonstrate in the streets, and to waste time in talking and in passing resolutions at public meetings. Ministers are working themselves to death, and have the best intentions; but, though I am always being told that their position is becoming stronger, I see no signs of their asserting their authority. The Soviet continues to act as if it were the Government.

The military outlook is most discouraging. Nor do I take an optimistic view of the immediate future of the country. Russia is not ripe for a purely democratic form of government, and for the next few years we shall probably see a series of revolutions or counter-revolutions. A vast Empire like this, with all its different races, will not long hold together under a Republic. Disintegration will, in my opinion, sooner or later set in, even under a federal system."
