Servantes’ genius for predicting historical events is really amazing. 400 years prior to the events of today, he could forebode and ridicule characters openly devoted to communist ideology. Riding his scraggy horse round the world, this mock-knight tries to convince people that what they see is not windmills, grinding gray to make flour, but hostile giants. The shepherd Sancho Panza is ready to pretend he believes his master because his loyalty will be rewarded with real power. A crazy revolutionary of a liar and a cook, wishing to rule the country – these two characters are familiar to us from our deplorable historical experience.
