Could've been written yesterday:
Quote: There is little 27
doubt that cadres of the Ukrainian rebel undergroundand an indeterminate part of
the Soviet populationactually believed a new world war would soon begin.
Inevitably, as the story was told and retold second-, third- and fourth-hand,
embellishments were added to adapt the tense international situation to local needs.
War was expected to break out at any moment. "If not today, then tomorrow England
will declare war on the USSR." "There will be a war and Ukraine will be made
independent, under the protectorate [sic] of America." "Although there is not yet a
war, there still remains at least one front that operates actively at all hours: the [war]
of the MVD. In the words of the chronicler: There will come a time when each man
lives a whole kilometer from the next,' and the American atom bomb will help us to
live this way." "America demanded from the Soviet Union: liberate West Ukraine
from Soviet power. If [Stalin] doesn't fulfi ll the ultimatum, a war will fl are up with
England and America against the Russians." It was commonly heard that riots had
started in the bigger cities of West Ukraine directly following Churchill's speech.
Or that "the war has already begun. England and America will help us to build an
independent Ukraine. Our people must start preparing immediately!"80
The shadow is a moral problem that challenges the whole ego-personality, for no one can become conscious of the shadow without considerable moral effort. To become conscious of it involves recognizing the dark aspects of the personality as present and real. This act is the essential condition for any kind of self-knowledge.
