Illarionov defines "Siloviki": "These are the people who work for, or who used to work for, the silovye ministerstva—literally 'the ministries of force'—charged with wielding coercion and violence in the name of the state." The article is at Cato Institute.

| "When wolves are hunted, they are driven from behind and ahead of them red markers, which they dare not cross, guide them inexorably to their doom. Well, one day the red markers were gone, the hunters ran away, and suddenly we found ourselves free and alone in the wild forest of our own history." pg. 3.

| The task of this vortex is to learn of and help resurrect the history of Russia's explorers — those who can be an inspiration for a Russia only now being rediscovered.

| 11 Nov 09: Jim Bennett provides a link to a Wikipedia article on Vladimir Nabokov's father, V. D. Nabokov, and notes that it might be interesting to "contrast the two Petersburg writers who came to America — Rand and Nabokov. Their lives overlapped in an interesting manner — he lived 1899-1977, she 1905-1982, and of course she went to school with his sisters. He was celebrated by the literary critics, whom he despised, and she was savaged by the same critics, whom she also despised. Neither ever gave a damn about what anybody thought of them. She was a Jew, he married a Jew. An odd pair, despite the fact that they never met that anybody knew."

| Prolific writer, most of whose work has not been translated. V. D. Nabokov's work will someday provide significant material for the resurrection of the real history of Russia, until recently entirely buried.
