One can bear anything -the plague, hunger and death -but one cannot bear the Germans. One cannot bear these fish-eyed oafs contemptuously snorting at everything Russian. We cannot live as long as these grey-green slugs are alive. Today there are no books, today there are no stars in the sky. Today there is only one thought -kill the Germans. Kill them all and dig them into the earth. Then we can go to sleep.
