Reflections on Russia

“Let us not look for the soul of Russia in the Russian novel: let us look for the individual genius.”

— Vladimir Nabokov

“The Russian yearning for the meaning of life is the major theme of our literature, and this is the real point of our intelligentsia's existence.”

— Nikolai Berdyaev
