Li, Dazhao. Fa O ke ming zhi bi jiao guan [ID D19727].
Li schreibt : From the point of view of the history of civilizations, any particular national civilization has its period of flourishing and its period of decline. The counries of Europe, like France and England, have reached a period of maturity in civilization. They no longer have the strength to advance any further. German civilization is today like the sun in the heavens controlling the forces of the world... [but] according to the history of the past, a period of flourishing is followed by a period of decline. Even though Russia geographically occupies a position on the European continent, in comparison with the other countries of Europe the rate of progress of Russian civilization has been slow for the past three centuries. History tells us that the Mongolian invasions stopped the growth of Russian civilization, caused it to return to barbarism and stagnate. Therefore the European Renaissance had no influence on Russia and Russia became completely isolated from European civilization. Because of this isolation, Russia's progress in civilization was comparatively slow with respect to the other nations of Europe, and just because of its comparative slowness in the evolution of civilization there existed surplus energy for development.
