En nuestro tiempo todo ha cambiado. Aquello que entendíamos por cultura – en su sentido más amplio – se ha esfumado. La noción de cultura se volvió fantasmal, mezcla de frivolidad política, banalización del arte, propensión al entretenimiento. La cultura fue una forma de la conciencia que nos acercaba a la realidad, a comprender o intentar comprender el ser, nuestra sociedad, nuestro estar en el mundo. Hoy parece que fuera un mecanismo de diversión cuando no de chabacanería y dejadez. Casi no hay polémicas ni debate público. La pesadilla orwelliana está entre nosotros.

In the brandnew Jewish Museum and Tolerance Center in Moscow, a highlight from the collections of the IISH is on show: the manuscript of the memoirs of the Russian writer and advocate of freedom of speech Alexander Herzen (1812-1870), Byloe i dumy (English-language edition My Past and Thoughts, the Memoirs of Alexander Herzen). Herzen left his fatherland in 1847 to fight a propaganda war against the Tsarist regime and the restrictions to freedom of speech in Russia.
