"When I first began working in Russia, in 1976, as a correspondent for the London Financial Times, I quickly concluded that Russia was an alternate universe that could be understood only through the details of individual Russian's lives." (The Less You Know, The Better You Sleep: Russia's Road to Terror and Dictatorship under Yeltsin and Putin, David Satter, 2016, kindle location 59/3831)

如果我們讀史  須依政權更迭讀之  那麼在其中活過的個人呢   應該是無足輕重   根本不存在罷,   讀russia如此   讀china如此   讀taiwan如此,   反之    如果我們讀史    不須依政權更迭讀之   那麼個人才可能存在罷,   意思是說   個人不須去管誰執政   甚至不須去關心政治,   這麼理想的狀態   真的存在嗎  (2016-6-19)

讀Russia   為讀China    顯然    過去卅年    Russia的鉅變    即使曾有短暫的好的開始 (perestroika / glasnost)   後續的弊病   卻與中共類似   不比中共少  (2016-6-19) 

讀Russia    為讀China    為讀Taiwan    顯然     我們一直回到(regress)歷史的傷口    那裡是最容易被操弄的痛處     踢那裡最痛    就踢那裡    還記得BPD最擅長的技倆嗎  (2016-6-19)
