"It is interesting to ponder the fact that there is no real difference between what the Western Fascists wanted of literature and what the Bolsheviks want. Let me quote: "The personality of the artist should develop freely and without restraint. One thing, however, we demand: acknowledgement of our creed.

Both of these are textual quotations, and their similitude would have been highly diverting had not the whole thing been so very sad."
