Norman Davies Zitate

Under Lenin, hardly less than under Stalin, historians harbored critical opinions at their peril. The writing, let alone the publication, of political diaries was virtually impossible.

Deutsche Übersetzung

Unter Lenin, kaum weniger als unter Stalin, hielten Historiker auf eigene Gefahr kritische Meinungen. Das Schreiben politischer Tagebücher, geschweige denn die Veröffentlichung, war praktisch unmöglich.

I'm living to the edges of my fingernails, using everything I have. It's impossible for me to look at things politically or in any way as a project, to further my career. You're injected directly into the blood of the places in which you're living and what's going on there.
