fedya your right to castigate I think is firmly reserved, and it’s not for me to say what JohnR meant or didn’t mean. The sentence he quoted meaning what you said is a quote from an early soviet poem that was plastered over and inside every public building, it seemed, in the 60′s and 70′s (along with “the people and the Party are one” and a few other pearls) and nobody would take it seriously, rather like Burma Shave.
