К сожалению, социологические исследования у нас не в почете (Мандельштам 2). A study of the number of denunciations by periods and by age of their authors would have enormous importance The question of their quality and style would also repay investigation. But, alas, sociological studies are not well regarded in this country (2a).

"We do make mistakes, of course. Only those who do nothing make no mistakes, as Lenin said. But we learn from our mistakes. Criticism and self-criticism have an honoured part to play here..." (1a).
