STATE SECRETARY FOR THE RUSSIAN PROTECTOR IN THINGS AND IN MORAVA, PRAGUE, inv. 1840, sig. 109-5/68 (damaged)
English Translation
24a - 12 - .Terror a stratified mass of a land proletariat, who after this path of suffering lost faith in a life worth living and which was found in the eastern area freed from Bolshevism. That the SU. did not manage to create a meaningful order by its own forces is obviously due to its peculiar nature. The eastern Riesensteppe, which offers the human spirit no resting points, no places of remembrance, could not give the peoples living in it self-consciousness. The endless uniform space does not give rise to a true state feeling. For the Russian peasant still living today in the state of the Middle Ages, the heat is boundless. The strange double face of the Russian character emerged from this lack of shore of the eastern space. On the one hand, the helpless servitude which makes the Eastern man the sclavian tool of his respective Lord, on the other hand, a feeling of a special divine mission, a my-sterious exalted belief in God, the belief in the "Holy Russia". This pathological mixture of serenity and arrogance, reflected in all Russian literature, is the key to the entire domestic and foreign policy of the Tsars and their Bolshevik heirs.
