"Pogorevshikh's philosophy was a mixture of the principles of anarchism and hunter's tall stories."All things are born of violence". I quote from my beloved, Benjamin Johnson. A simple seed moving toward the sky is, although on a very small, miniscule scale, quite a violent procedure. Thrusting through the earth, breaking the soil's crust, shooting forth, up, up- as a fist smashes through a door, so does a tiny seedling break through the dirt to feed off the sky's light. This can be seen in all things.

'Just a moment,' he said hesitantly. 'True, all this may happen. But it seems to me that with all that's going on- the chaos, the disintegration, the pressure from the enemy- this is not the moment to start dangerous experiments. The country must be allowed to recover from one upheaval before plunging into another. We must wait till at least relatvie peace and order are restored.
'That's naive,' said Pogorevshikh. 'What you call discorder is just as normal a state of things as the order you're so keen about. All this destruction- it's a natural and preliminary stage of a broad creative plan. Society has not yet disintegrated sufficiently. It must fall to pieces completely, then a genuinely revolutionary governemnt will put the pieces together and build on completely new foundations.'"
