It is funny, isn't it?

20 years of utter futility.

Why not try a bribe? I can be bought.

Putin is fucked now.

too bad Dr. Zhivago lost best picture to The Sound Of Music, or Putin could get an Oscar or two.

The history of Dr. Zhivago is fascinating.  Actually it was, to the give the devil his due, a very successful CIA psyop.  Now Pasternak's work is a masterpiece.  David Lean's film treatment of it is without doubt a cinematic achievement, but yeah it was very much a success because of the CIA.  Here, don't take my "stupid" "Putin ball licker (cLit get some new material fucktard)," "right wing news," "russian website" opinion.  Here's what the CIA said about it

Here's an article from the New York Review

By the way, as much as I love Lean's treatment of it, if you want to get another telling of Pasternak's classic, not too many years ago Russia 1 TV (Russia 1, much like the BBC does with British literature, has produced many series that are beautifully done and are faithful to the source material) did a 10 hour television adaptation of Zhivago.  You used to be able to find it on Amazon before cancel culture tried to cancel an entire country, but here if you're interested.  I was fortunate enough to buy the series on DVD in the early 10s. Still if you can find an English subtitle program for it, its soooo worth the watch:

Wow. This quote is so true.

 

“No single man makes history. History cannot be seen, just as one cannot see grass growing. Wars and revolutions, kings and Robespierres, are history's organic agents, its yeast. But revolutions are made by fanatical men of action with one-track mind, geniuses in their ability to confine themselves to a limited field. They overturn the old order in a few hours or days, the whole upheaval takes a few weeks or at most years, but the fanatical spirit that inspired the upheavals is worshiped for decades thereafter, for centuries. ”

- Boris Leonidovich Pasternak

Uh oh, what you doing reading Russsian literature, that's been thought crime since February.  You need to read some Ukrainian literature by people like Gogol. . . . No wait, Gogol saw himself as Russian, so ummm uh well you know. . . .  :D
