    —Russian saying popular in the Soviet period, trans. by Vladimir Ivanovich Shlyakov (1993)

    “Here in the U.S., culture is not that delicious panacea which we Europeans consume in a sacramental mental space and which has its own special columns in the newspapers—and in people’s minds. Culture is space, speed, cinema, technology. This culture is authentic, if anything can be said to be authentic.”
