Joseph Stalin quotes: "A single death is a tragedy; a million deaths is a statistic."
"It is enough that the people know there was an election. The people who cast the votes decide nothing. The people who count the votes decide everything."
"If the opposition disarms, well and good. If it refuses to disarm, we shall disarm it ourselves."
"Ideas are more powerful than guns. We would not let our enemies have guns, why should we let them have ideas."
"The only real power comes out of a long rifle."
"Education is a weapon whose effects depend on who holds it in his hands and at whom it is aimed."
"In the Soviet army it takes more courage to retreat than advance."
"Death solves all problems - no man, no problem."
"If any foreign minister begins to defend to the death a 'peace conference', you can be sure his government has already placed its orders for new battleships and airplanes."
"When we hang the capitalists they will sell us the rope we use."

- DirectorStéphane BenturaStarsAlinaDaschaJegorRussians, and especially Muscovites, have been marching in ever greater numbers in recent months against a power that is considered to be liberticidal. More than ever, Russia appears to be a nation divided between those who keep a low profile in front of Putin's authoritarianism, or even support him, and those who fight him, often at the risk of their freedom. Who are these ordinary citizens who take all the risks, up to having to go into exile, to demand a Russia with a human face? For nearly a year, director Stéphane Bentura followed those who, often young and educated, made Alexei Navalny their figurehead, poisoned and then imprisoned upon his surprise return to Moscow in January 2021.
