There are things in Russia which are not as they seem.

We proceeded from the knowledge that we would have to fight a battle-wise, strong and stubborn enemy.

The Memoirs of Marshal Zhukov (1971)

If the nation only knew their hands dripped with innocent blood, it would have met them not with applause but with stones.
