During the war my grandfather was a sniper, like almost all Siberian hunters; he was in the same convoy that took the great Vasily Zaytsev to Stalingrad. I'm often told that I had a bad childhood. Perhaps it's true, but I liked it that way. That element got me closer to the adults and I felt responsible.

Additional quotes by Nicolai Lilin
This snake [tattoo] on my arm is the demon I have to tame every day. My mentor forcibly tattooed it on me when I was 14. I had stabbed a boy in the back. He was paralyzed for life, but I was left with the demon tattooed with the needle, almost in relief, to hurt me more. A stain that reminds me of the biggest mistake of my life.
Il mio unico impegno è bloccare ogni tipo di sostegno alla guerra. Non ho altro interessi politici. Non sono mai stato interessato seriamente a nessun tipo di programma politico.
