Sergei Osipov

[A.Smith]

Dear Professor Shatsev,

I was intrigued by your reference to Osipov's quote. You wrote: "Russian not
well known poet Sergei Osipov said:"Stalinism is a triumph of mediocrity
on  the international ground. Fascism is a triumph of mediocrity on national
ground." Could you please provide me with more details regards this quote:
where did it appear and when? Osipov's phrase resonates well with Boris
Pasternak's conversations with Gladkov  about totalitarian societies and
mediocre psychology. I will be grateful for any further information on
Osipov. Thank you.
