"Speaking of Russia, they constantly imagine that they are talking about the same state as others. In fact, this is not at all the case. Russia is a special world, submissive to the will, arbitrariness, fantasy of one person. Whether he is called Peter or Ivan is not the point: in all cases it is the personification of arbitrariness," wrote Alexander Herzen, an outstanding Russian publicist, writer, public figure. He knew the peculiarities of Russian life well, met with the highest leaders of the state, served in state institutions, was twice in exile and, in the end, was forced to leave Russia. In his memoirs and articles, Herzen not only vividly described the situation in the country, but made deep conclusions about the Russian path of development, about the future of Russia. Many of his thoughts are still relevant.
