{{quote|After [[Josef Stalin|Stalin]]'s death, especially after [[New Era Speech|XX Party Congress]], a multitude of antistalinists appeared in Soviet Union. [...] If antistalinism of Khrushev era still deserved some leniency since destalinization of the contrycountry was underway, antistalinism of [[The Great Politics Mess-Up|Gorbachev era]] deserves nothing but scorn. Everything is good in its season. I consider real antistalinists only those who rebelled against stalinism while this was deadly dangerous.|A.Zinoviev, ''The Russian Fate: The confession of a dissident''}}

{{quote|And Ken Russell has really done it this time. He has stripped the lid of respectability off the Ursuline convent in Louden, France. He has exposed Cardinal Richelieu as a political schemer. He has destroyed our illusions about Louis XIII. We are filled with righteous indignation a we bear witness to the violation of the helpless nuns; it is all the more terrible because, as Russell fearlessly reveals, all the nuns, without exception, were young and stacked.
 
It is about time that someone had the courage to tell it like it was about Loudon, a seemingly respectable provincial town beneath the facade of which seethed simmering intrigues, unholy alliances, greed, fear, lust, avarice, sacrilege, and nausea. The story has gone untold for too long. Aldous Huxley wrote a book about it, and John Whiting wrote a play about it, but only Ken Russell has made a movie about it.
[...]
I don't know about anyone else, but frankly, I left the Cinema Theater feeling like a new, a different, and, yes, a better person. [...] It took courage for me to go see The Devils, just like it took courage for Ken Russell to make it.
