231. Gefährlichste Auswanderung. - In Russland giebt es eine Auswanderung der Intelligenz: man geht über die Gränze, um gute Bücher zu lesen und zu schreiben. So wirkt man aber dahin, das vom Geiste verlassene Vaterland immer mehr zum vorgestreckten Rachen Asiens zu machen, der das kleine Europa verschlingen möchte.

231. The Most Dangerous Emigration. In Russia there is an emigration of the intelligentsia: people cross the border in order to read and write good books. In this way, however, they help to turn the fatherland abandoned by the spirit ever more into the outstretched jaws of Asia, which would like to devour little Europe.

231. L’émigration la plus dangereuse. Il existe en Russie une émigration de l’intelligence : on franchit la frontière pour lire et écrire de bons livres. Mais on contribue ainsi à faire de la patrie abandonnée par l’esprit la gueule toujours plus béante de l’Asie, qui voudrait engloutir la petite Europe.
