Plato and art censorship (fwd)

[Stanislav Tchernyshov]

"V Rossii ispokon veka  bul poisk i pogonja za vragom. Vrag
vneshnij, vnutrennij, vrag Otechestva, vrag naroda.  Pochti vsegda eto
inorodec, intelligent."
Elena, let me ask you some questions regarding you posting, since
certain ideas are quite common among "intelligencia" and I'm not sure I
have a precise understanding of what they mean.
1.How should we understand "ispokon veka"?
2.Do you think that, if we look at the world history, "poisk i pogonja
za vragom" in Russia make an impression of smth special?
3."inorodec, intelligent" - do you think these two notions are in close
connection? If yes, wouldn't you explain, why?
