who had come up with this idea? and who had let go? in other words: who had been standing behind it? and what price was paid at the end for it? in spite of all considerations, it was incomprehensible how - not, for God's sake - but: how in the world to all the you could designate a bus so a Hungarian bus also of the whole, real and literalness entire eastern block of Schwerin to Vladivostok, from Bucharest to gdansk and even go to Cuba would - this was the proverbial melancholy of Hungary, the Krzysztof Varga described, sang and admired in his books, did not occur in which the coach, however?
It all fits together not: the eternal indestructible ikarus-buses, which are more and more become a symbol of the Soviet bloc and of the failure of socialism, after they have survived these two: it was the project a high-flying, and it's failed, along it must have been flying high, a bus after that mythological figure to designate who fail the after high flight embodies more than any other, so that at least the question could arise whether not that a rebuke would have been more for the other, and to give socialism still would, would have the bus only daedalus or ariadne or Hercules called - and if they were not names may even have been more appropriate, even Sisyphus would have done, Sisyphus, more than any other - - and the irony was the story only that which had ikarus buses socialism now has been going on for twenty years and implied a further million driven miles on their engines roaring their accumulated stossdaemfern baggy and their fateful name carried through the streets of Eastern Bloc, over the eternal concrete slabs and prefabricated housing through the endless endless horizon to horizon ... and not stabbed comfort, but out of character every other contemporary bus, all one's and all solaris, who used futuristic sometimes going up in flames for no reason, as it seemed - so you spaetsommermorgen but on a sunny almost could be a little sentimental, because a sunny spaetsommermorgen so damn appear seductive promise in a time, moved into the long casts and the high flying in vast remote seem to be the year in a spaetsommermorgen the 70's, as the orange back light after all, exactly the same and not significantly less bright and full of promise, was as palpable nah zu sein gewesen Schienen. womit apology keiner das wort des totalitarismus gesprochen werden soll, nur festgestellt wird: die ist tot ideologies. you blieb, war enttaeuschung viel, ein wenig und die nostalgie alte Wahrheit von Ernst Bloch, was es mit Kindheit und hat sich auf heimat. ikarusse fahren und die weiter.
