I was looking up the origin of the term 'Iron Curtain' and came across this zinger of a quote.
"With clanging, creaking, and squeaking, an iron curtain is lowering over Russian History. "The performance is over." The audience got up. "Time to put on your fur coats and go home." We looked around, but the fur coats and homes were missing."
- Vasily Rozanov, The Apocalypse of our Time (1918)
