"Over a half century ago, while I was still a child, I recall hearing a number of old people offer the following explanation for the great disasters that had befallen Russia: "Men have forgotten God; that's why all this has happened." Since then I have spent well-nigh 50 years working on the history of our revolution; in the process I have read hundreds of books, collected hundreds of personal testimonies, and have already contributed eight volumes of my own toward the effort of clearing away the rubble left by that upheaval. But if I were asked today to formulate as concisely as possible the main cause of the ruinous revolution that swallowed up some 60 million of our people, I could not put it more accurately than to repeat: "Men have forgotten God; that's why all this has happened."
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn

Monstruoso! Ainda é inacreditável pra mim, o quão corajoso foi toda ideologia comunista pra época: a união do povo, a glorificação do progresso (cientificismo), negação a Deus. Os camponeses rejeitando os antigos modos para um futuro esplêndido! Zemlya condensa uma propaganda numa história tão simples e tudo de uma forma bastante pomposa. Aos interessados, recomendaria a leitura dos livros "Pais e Filhos" do Ivan Turgueniev e "Demônios" do Dostoevsky, ambos relatam o contexto histórico-ideológico nas últimas décadas que precedem a revolução de 1917.
