In seventies I was working in the Siberian Arctic – and I confirm that the Russian minds weren't in any way different in my Northern place from their general state, so thoroughly described by Yuri Glazov. There is nothing strange about it: totalitarian regimes are all-embracing in their single-minded unity, as the author shows most convincingly. But then, some half-century later, there is one curious difference about the minds of my former Siberian neighbors. Those of them, who, being ex-prisoners or exiles from the Communists-enslaved countries (East Germany, Estonia, Poland etc), could return in the nineties to their native lands, just can't hear today the very word "Stalin" without crossing themselves, like at sudden appearance of evil spirit. The attitude toward Stalin within Russia, on the contrary, didn't change a bit since the book's publication – it is kind of a huge pre-historical mammoth saved intact by thick layers of Siberian permafrost. In the case with Stalin this permafrost's role belongs to genetic fear within many generations, which were shot, tortured or labored to death until the very collapse of the USSR. But why this permafrost couldn't work the same sad wonders with my Siberian friends, whom I often visit now in their Poland or, say, Lithuania? I may be wrong, but I think, that the difference is determined mainly by the length of the nation's life under Communism. If it is just 2-3 generations, then the healing (sometimes very slow and with often recurrences) is still possible. But if the period of oppression was longer than (my guess) 50 years – shadow of fear would be still corrupting the nation's soul for many future decades -maybe even future centuries?Read more ›
