Czeslaw Milosz, que infelizmente sempre foi tão ignorado entre nós, apesar de editado, é uma boa alternativa ao nunca editado Stanislaw Ignacy Witkiewicz (Insaciabilidade), escreveu em 1981
"é enorme a vulnerabilidade da mente do séc. XX perante as doutrinas sociopolíticas e a predisposição para aceitar o terror do totalitarismo em nome de um futuro hipotético", "o poder de atracção do pensamento totalitário, seja ele de esquerda ou de direita, não é coisa do passado; pelo contrário, parece estar a aumentar".
Dos russófilos 'ocidentais', no actual contexto, há que dizer-lhes o mesmo que Milosz disse em tempos - "a diferença entre os intelectuais do Ocidente e do Leste reside no facto de os primeiros não terem levado, a sério, no cu".

This Presidential Address comes, as we all know, at a difficult, watershed period for our country. This is a time of radical, irreversible change in the entire world, of crucial historical events that will determine the future of our country and our people, a time when every one of us bears a colossal responsibility.
One year ago, to protect the people in our historical lands, to ensure the security of our country and to eliminate the threat coming from the neo-Nazi regime that had taken hold in Ukraine after the 2014 coup, it was decided to begin the special military operation. Step by step, carefully and consistently we will deal with the tasks we have at hand.
Since 2014, Donbass has been fighting for the right to live in their land and to speak their native tongue. It fought and never gave up amid the blockade, constant shelling and the Kiev regime’s overt hatred. It hoped and waited that Russia would come to help.
In the meantime, as you know well, we were doing everything in our power to solve this problem by peaceful means, and patiently conducted talks on a peaceful solution to this devastating conflict.
