Today the Soviet system can no longer seriously strive toward the spectre
of Communism - but at the same time it cannot yet abandon the grandeur of
its tasks, for otherwise it would have to answer for fruitless sacrifices
which are truly innumerable. But in what then can the Soviet system find
its justification? Only in the consciousness that it was unconsciously in
the past, as it is now quite consciously, God's instrument for constructing
a new Christian world. It has no other justification, and this is . . . a
genuine and great justification. By adopting it, our state will discover in
itself a truly inexhaustable source of Truth, spiritual energy and
strength, which has never before existed in history . . . The old pagan
world has now finally outlived its era . . . In order not to perish with it
we must build a new civilization - but is Western society, whose
foundations have been destroyed, really capable of this? Only the Soviet
sytem, having adopted Russian Orthodoxy . . . is capable of beginning THE
GREAT TRANSFORMATION OF THE WORLD." (Passage written by Russian nationalist
G.M. Shimanov quoted in Yanov's The Russian Challenge, p.236)ten pat
