—Russian saying popular in the Soviet period, trans. by Vladimir Ivanovich Shlyakov (1993)
“The hatred of the youth culture for adult society is not a disinterested judgment but a terror-ridden refusal to be hooked into the, if you will, ecological chain of breathing, growing, and dying. It is the demand, in other words, to remain children.”
