Quotes from Alexander Ivanovich Herzen

Communism is a Russian autocracy turned upside down.

Russia's future will be a great danger for Europe and a great misfortune for Russia if there is no emancipation of the individual. One more century of present despotism will destroy all the good qualities of the Russian people.

The liberty of the individual is the greatest thing of all, it is on this and this alone that the true will of the people can develop.
