Belousov's father, Rem Belousov, was responsible for developin | Russians With Attitude

Belousov's father, Rem Belousov, was responsible for developing Kosygin's reforms, the same reforms that could have saved the USSR, but Brezhnev decided against them.

Some more Belousov quotes to get a better idea of the man: 'The ideology of a multipolar world is that a self, something independent, must be developed. This self is not the persona, or the mask that we wear. It is the self that should be manifested in all countries with confidence. For countries that do not have sovereignty, it cannot be manifested by definition.
…
We have no other choice for our country than to acquire or recreate this self. We have huge resources and a talented population, but the most important prerequisite is a strong culture. We have our own cultural code, which most countries and peoples lack. Dostoevsky, in his works such as The Writer's Diary, expressed this idea very well.'
