More quotes by Vladimir Bukovsky
A single economy makes the constant adjustments necessary to facilitate trade impossible.
Vladimir Bukovsky
I should like to underline: no people, no country, in which a Communist dictatorship has been established, ever found its way out of it.
Vladimir Bukovsky
Europe, I have lived in your future, and I did not like it.
Vladimir Bukovsky
This dream of absolute, universal equality is amazing, terrifying, and inhuman. And the moment it captures people's minds, the result is mountains of corpses and rivers of blood.
Vladimir Bukovsky
If you go through all the structures and features of this emerging European monster you will notice that it more and more resembles the Soviet Union.
Vladimir Bukovsky
Investigation is a subtle process, requiring patience and fine analytical ability, as well as a skill in cultivating one's sources. When torture is condoned, these rare talented people leave the service, having been outstripped by less gifted colleagues with their quick-fix methods, and the service itself degenerates into a playground for sadists.
Vladimir Bukovsky
