Text

Herzen Who’s (there)...? Is it you? Oh, I want you back so I can take you for granted again and be busy and full of sap! Oh…! Bakunin..? I thought it was Natalie.
Bakunin No. She’s still dead. Herzen And you? Bakunin Still alive. Buried alive.

[... …]

Bakunin ...And society will find its own form, which will be the shadow thrown by the inner nature of the people. So keep faith in their goodness, Herzen. Who knows if I’ll ever see you again. (They embrace). No tears now. And besides, the Tsar might die tomorrow!
