Consecration of the herm - Fyodor Bronnikov[/caption]"In the struggle for our own personal identity we have no other way but to also be in the process struggle for our communal contact with our own homeland. This sense of homeland is tied to the continuum of many traditions, spiritual ones, cultural ones, and certainly religious ones. Internationalisation tears people away from all traditions. It is almost as if it rids the person of individuality. Perhaps not their own personal individuality but something which could be described as its spiritual nucleus, a spiritual kernel perhaps. There is an illusion of world unity which carries with it the threat to local cultures. It is an illusory unity."
- Alexander Solzhenitsyn, ‘Russia in the Abyss’
