’A final chapter, called “Hopes and Alternatives”, credits the dissidents – that small and fundamentally apolitical movement of the 1960s and 70s** – with reintroducing into Soviet civilisation the notion of the individual; discusses some of the central and contradictory traits of the Russian national character, mercurial and*** prone to look for scapegoats; and concludes with a grim outline of three varieties of Russian fascism **** which might replace the old Soviet empire.’
