IVÁN SERGYÉEVICH TURGÉNEV
"In days of doubt, in days of anguished thought over the fate of my native land, you alone are my staff and my support, O great, mighty, true and free Russian language! Were it not for you, how could one help despairing at the sight of what is taking place at home? But it is unthinkable that such a language should not be given to a great nation."
Turgénev.
