Ryszard Kapuscinski Quotes
The Train Is Speeding Into A Luminous Future. Lenin Is At The Controls. Suddenly - Stop, The Tracks Come To An End. Lenin Calls On The People For Additional, Saturday Work, Tracks Are Laid Down, And The Train Moves On. Now Stalin Is Driving It. Again The Tracks End. Stalin Orders Half The Conductors And Passengers Shot, And The Rest He Forces To Lay Down New Tracks. The Train Starts Again. Khrushchev Replaces Stalin, And When The Tracks Come To An End, He Orders That The Ones Over Which The Train Has Already Passed Be Dismantled And Laid Down Before The Locomotive. Brezhnev Takes Khrushchev's Place. When The Tracks End Again, Brezhnev Decides To Pull Down The Window Blinds And Rock The Cars In Such A Way That The Passengers Will Think The Train Is Still Moving Forward. (Yurii Boriev, Staliniad, 1990)
