it was amazing

Lies have short legs.

“No one should be cornered. No one should be put in a situation where they have no way out.�

Inakomyslyashcie

The law [is] an instrument of the state, and its primary role [is] to protect state interests.

It’s “like trying to convert a submarine into an airplane while keeping its functioning with the same crew throughout.�

“If we catch them in the shithouse, we’ll wipe them out in the shithouse.�

A person’s beliefs were ‘inside a man’s heart�, not to be flaunted on the public stage.

Those who are destined to be hanged are not going to drown.

“There are people who can’t and won’t understand, no matter how you try to explain to them. The only thing they understand is strength.�

“It will pass. Everything passes, and this will pass as well.�

Power means the right to commit violence without punishment. The one whose violence goes unpunished is the ruler.
