6. For an incisive examination of the blind spots of Russian dissidents that foster idealization of a healthy “national” Russia that would still retain its empire, see the article by Basil Markus on “The Voluntary and Involuntary Sins of Russian Anti-communists.” Vasyl' Markus', “Vil'ni i nevol'ni hrikhy rosiis'kykh antykomunistiv,” Suchasnist', February 1976 (no. 182), pp. 80-85. Markus contends that while intellectuals such as Solzhenitsyn and Shafarevich, in From under the Rubble, may have freed themselves from the dogmas of Bolshevism, “they remain under the weight of the ‘rubble’ of imperial thought [patterns], the idea of a ‘god-bearing people’ and messianism.”Google Scholar
