What are you thoughts on Solzhenitsyn, The Gulag Archipelago, or the USSR?

[@user-lh1xf5zx6u]

When he denigrated the USSR in America, they carried him in their arms. As soon as he was surprised to notice that crime in the USA is much higher than in the USSR, you immediately sent him home...)

I read one volume of Gulag Archipelago, and was fascinated with Solzhenitsyn’s personality. I found myself laughing periodically and then wondering if I should be laughing. Thank you for this clip where the author mentions S.’s sense of humor. I remember at the end of the book, thinking it would be wonderful going out to lunch with him, to find out if he was as funny as I thought he might be. I will look for the rest of this interesting interview.

Glad you enjoyed it! The link to the full episode is in the description.

Solzhenitsyn is a man of Earned Wisdom, Earned The Hard Way. He didn't start his life as a wise man

[@jacobbrassard2776]

Gulag Archipelago is a tough read that points to the very essence of the fall. That sin can reach its logical concussion and create hell on earth. It also points the the Russian spirit, the long suffering kind.
