Rolling text in yellow against a black background saying it was all so stupid. Seriously, you would not believe how stupid it was. Every day, unrelentingly, just the dumbest stuff by the absolute worst people. And what made it worse was knowing that we’d brought this on ourselves.

A handwritten note in black ink on white paper reading ‘Andrei Sakharov was the greatest dissident of the post-Stalin years..many of the country’s prominent scientists signed statements condemning him. By this point, the penalty for not singing was no longer the gulag, but the loss of a promotion, of the use of a summer dacha. But the emotional effect was the same…a corrupting sense of complicity that spread throughout the whole of society. When Sakharov died in 1989, an anonymous wreath at his funeral bore the legend, “Andrei Dmietrievich, forgive us!”’
