@RBrookhiser Robert Conquest famously said he would title a later book, "See I [Expletitive] Told You," arguing that his scholarship on Soviet repression, terror, starvation, and mass murder would keep being confirmed by the continued opening of more Soviet archives. #RobertConquest

"Yes. And that was Philip. But he also had the ability to create a slight awkwardness when he wanted to. Whenever he felt a line was too smooth, he could put in that awkwardness--a very artful awkwardness--for modulation."--#RobertConquest on #PhilipLarkin

#PatrickKurp briefly on the #RobertConquest/#Nabokov dispute over Nabokov's translation of #Pushkin's Eugene Onegin, which we can only hope @BorisDralyuk will take on some day.

@rmunro3 100% agree. There are so many terrific historians: #PaulJohnson, @RBrookhiser, #marybeard, #davidhackettfischer, #robertcaro, #richardpipes, #robertconquest, #iankershaw, #simonsebagmonetfiore...It's a long list.

A Cold War #limerick from #RobertConquest, one of the few poets to achieve professional excellence outside the literary world.

@_ryanruby_ A natural impulse. Robert Conquest supposedly suggested that, after the opening of the Soviet archives, the new edition of his “The Great Terror” (1968) should be titled “I Told You So, You Fucking Fools.” Apocryphal, but easy to believe, coming from the author of these lines:

#Errors #FailedPredictions How wrong #RobertConquest when he said in 1999: "We won through.. We have got rid of the..ideologies (the horrors of..Communism)..except in a few backward countries.." Alas, movements towards '#communism' are alive and kicking in the #US and #Germany.

It appears to be a fact that one is permitted to be openly communist round here.

"Someone once said that American poets no longer see the need for meter and rhyme. Geoffrey Grigson commented that if that's the case, then American poets aren't poets in any sense known to civilization for the past three thousand years." - Robert Conquest
