带着苦涩、骄傲和希望,俄罗斯人走过了20世纪。 在这个世纪里,世界上许多国家都经历了剧烈动荡、革命和战争,但却没有一个大国像俄罗斯这样在近100多年的时间里如此频繁、急剧、病态地变化。早在100年前,自由主义者、马克思主义者和民粹主义者就在争论,俄罗斯是否可能、是否需要建设资本主义;然后,又在试图遵循党的“总路线”或是市场“看不见的手”中,争论社会主义、共产主义、新资本主义的发展道路。现在,已经不再有多余的争论了,我们正在开始从寡头资本主义向国家资本主义前进。 20世纪发生的几乎所有重大历史事件都与俄罗斯有千丝万缕的联系。我们经历了俄罗斯帝国崩溃和苏联解体的痛苦。但是,俄罗斯却以一个伟大的国家、以多民族社会、以一种伟大的文化和欧洲及亚洲许多国家关注的中心存在下来了。这期间俄罗斯所有政党和它们的意识形态都痛苦地承受了这种崩溃和解体。俄罗斯人民又一次站在了十字路口,思考自...
第八章 王风一行四人重新回到了学校,等在图书馆外面的草坪上。天渐渐地黑了下来,因为没有人,学校的路灯也没有点亮,王风让许焕蹲下身子,他踩在许焕的肩膀上,站稳以后许焕站起身来,这样王风就够到了图书馆的窗户。王风从口袋里掏出玻璃刀,在窗户玻璃插销位置划了几下,发出了刺耳的嘎吱声,然后顺着切口打破玻璃,伸手指进去打开了这扇窗子,王风随后爬了进去,然后将剩下的三个人一个一个拽了进来。返身将窗户关上,四个人朝图书馆中间走了几步,打亮了手中的小电筒。 图书馆中静悄悄的,脚下的木地板在四个人的脚下吱吱做响,王风凭着记忆来到了历史类,那是长长的一溜书架,王风皱皱眉:“许焕,你和沈容在那面找,我和周楚楚在这面,凡是有关于学校历史的书都挑出来,放到那面的桌上,一会我们集中看。”...

——评柏杨的《丑陋的中国人》出版陈晓明柏杨自己解嘲地说,“吴刚伐树我洗缸”。谁都知道柏杨用“酱缸文化”来指称中国传统文化,他要做的事情就是指出中国传统至今的文化存在的问题,用他的尖锐和犀利去除传统文化的余孽糟粕。这倒是应了毛泽东诗词当年的那句话“金猴奋起千钧棒,玉宇澄清万里埃”。然而,柏杨没有那么悲壮,他一直是在做着极其艰难困苦的反思工作,就是在当年的台湾岛和海外华人世界,他承受的压力也是难以想象的。柏杨在60年代的写作异常活跃,成为台湾岛内最受欢迎的杂文家,他对国民学党的政治高压时常冷嘲热讽,由于被怀疑影射攻击蒋家父子,被罗织大量政治罪名:“假事自诬”,“思想左倾”,“为匪作文化统战工作”,“有明显意图以非法之方法颠覆政府”……等等,于1968年6月27日判处12年徒刑(实际关押九年又26天)。出狱后,柏杨并没有屈服,据他后来的回忆,他最早试图发表“丑陋的中国人”是在他出狱...
