"An infinitely difficult task faced the Russian people — the task of designing and organizing their vast land. The vastness of the Russian land, the absence of borders and limits were expressed in the structure of the Russian soul.
The landscape of the Russian soul corresponds to the landscape of the Russian land: the same boundlessness, formlessness, aspiration to infinity, breadth."
- Nikolai Vasilyevich Gogol
