“Responsible statesmen have only one choice - to do everything possible...” — Yuri Andropov Quote

“Responsible statesmen have only one choice - to do everything possible to prevent a nuclear catastrophe. Any other position is short-sighted; more so, it is suicidal.”

“One must say bluntly that it is an unattractive sight when, with a view to smearing the Soviet people, leaders of such a country as the United States resort to what almost amounts to obscenities alternating with hypocritical preaching about morals and humanism.”

“Malicious attacks on the Soviet Union produce a natural feeling of indignation.”

“By isolating the issues of race, gender, sexual orientation, climate change, environment, governance, economics, catastrophe and whatever other problems the present embodies or the future may bring, science fiction can do what Dickens and Sinclair did: make real the consequences of social injustice or human folly.”

“The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the dire reality that too many New Mexicans are one emergency away from financial catastrophe.”

“History: the category of human phenomena which tends to catastrophe.”
