Anyone who rises up against the Russian people will feel it on their back. It is not a threat, but the thousand-year history of nations has said so. Various saboteurs and enslavers have bounced back, and the Russian people have dug out new treasures in their boundless virgin lands. That's the way it's supposed to be. History preserves evidence of the highest justice, which has already said menacingly many times: "Don't touch!"
- Nikolai Roerich. “Don't touch!” June 10, 1940.
