{{quote|I was already a confirmed anti-Stalinist at the age of seventeen […] The idea of killing Stalin filled my thoughts and feelings .... We studied the 'technical' possibilities of an attack […] We even practised. If they had condemned me to death in 1939, their decision would have been just. I had made up a plan to kill Stalin; wasn't that a crime? When Stalin was still alive, I saw things differently, but as I look back over this century, I can state that Stalin was the greatest individual of this century, the greatest political genius. To adopt a scientific attitude about someone is quite different from one's personal attitude.
