> Between praising tsarists Russia The linked article suggests that Russia might have kept its educated people if the Bolsheviks hadn't taken power and driven all those people into emigration. Few people would dispute that, and it is important to note that the Bolsheviks did not overthrow the tsar: he was already gone by the October Revolution, having been deposed in the February Revolution earlier in the year. So, it’s not about praising the tsar. If Bolsheviks specifically hadn’t screwed everything up, Russia may well have remained on the same path of development under the tsar-free regime brought in during February 1917. > having his favorite translation of the futurist manifesto In spite of Futurism's undeniable links to early Italian Fascism, I suspect that, overall, the Futurist Manifesto is discussed as an important piece of literary history and an interesting text by more people who are broadly on the left, than people who literally believe in fascism.
