Русский композитор Георгий Свиридов Из записной тетради, 1991 г.:
«Я устал от беспочвенных воплей и сетований по поводу «нецивилизованности» России, нецивилизованности русских, главным образом. Странно слышать, когда так говорят соотечественники Лобачевского, Менделеева, Гоголя, Лермонтова, Тютчева, Есенина, Достоевского, Чайковского. Правда, я говорю о культуре, а не о цивилизации, о «Слове о полку Игореве», а не о позолоченном унитазе.»

Overall, extreme levels of fear in the market seems to have morphed into something more resembling concern. For example, the Cboe Volatility Index fell from its 2022 peak of 36, which it hit Monday, to around 30 on Friday, a sign of easing tensions. Meanwhile, while the price of WTI crude oil slipped from Sunday’s multiyear high $130 of barrel to $109 a pop. Markets have been expecting heavy restrictions on Russian oil, some of which the U.S. has already imposed, and that would reduce the global supply and bring about even more burdensome inflation. Pavel Durov, Telegram's CEO, is known as "the Russian Mark Zuckerberg," for co-founding VKontakte, which is Russian for "in touch," a Facebook imitator that became the country's most popular social networking site. Asked about its stance on disinformation, Telegram spokesperson Remi Vaughn told AFP: "As noted by our CEO, the sheer volume of information being shared on channels makes it extremely difficult to verify, so it's important that users double-check what they read." NEWS In 2014, Pavel Durov fled the country after allies of the Kremlin took control of the social networking site most know just as VK. Russia's intelligence agency had asked Durov to turn over the data of anti-Kremlin protesters. Durov refused to do so.
