Russian Naval

Famous quotes containing the words russian and/or naval:

“From being a patriotic myth, the Russian people have become an awful reality.”
—Leon Trotsky (1879–1940)

“The world was a huge ball then, the universe a might harmony of ellipses, everything moved mysteriously, incalculable distances through the ether.
We used to feel the awe of the distant stars upon us. All that led to was the eighty-eight naval guns, ersatz, and the night air-raids over cities. A magnificent spectacle.
After the collapse of the socialist dream, I came to America.”
—John Dos Passos (1896–1970)
