Whether it was a surprise picnic involving theft of fine china and time, or a tender little reminder to be hidden and kept safe, Tolys had a knack for making sure Gilbert knew how loved he was. Words unspoken ring true all the same.

Bonnie Marshall, Professor of Russian Literature, Pedagogical Institute, St Petersburg, expresses it even more crisply.

As second-class citizens in a patriarchy [Russian] women have become accustomed to bad treatment. They have learned to deal with oppression and to thrive under it. Their spirits fail to wither. Men, on the other hand, are accustomed to being treated as privileged members of the patriarchy. They cannot cope with their wounded dignity under Communism (1991, personal communication to TM).
