Prince Salina himself does not want to actively participate in the political struggle. He is well aware of the inevitability of the big changes taking place and feels that his time of “leopards” and “lions” - leaves. “I belong to the outgoing class, I am free from illusions and is not capable of self -deception,” he says. We are leopards, lions. Those who are replacing will be jackaling, hyenas. ”
