“All the stories and descriptions of that time without exception peak only of the patriotism,
self-sacrifice, despair, grief, and heroism of the Russians. But in reality it was not like
that...The majority of the people paid no attention to the general course of events but were

“You never know how much you really believe anything until its truth of falsehood becomes a matter of life and death to you.
