Solzhenitsyn's 'One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich': not a warning, but his raw gulag reality - Siberian freeze, meager rations, crushed spirits. Parallels today's ICE detainees? Lived hell, relived.

A quote by Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn

The simple step of a courageous individual is not to take part in the lie. One word of truth outweighs the world.

"If only there were evil people somewhere insidiously committing evil deeds, and it were necessary only to separate them from the rest of us and destroy them. But the line dividing good and evil cuts through the heart of every human being. And who is willing to destroy a piece of his own heart?"
Alexander Solzhenitsyn

TREASON with Miles Taylor

Not enough Americans have read Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn.

One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich and

The Gulag Archipelago

would be good places to start.

Read them in high school. Unforgettable life lessons.

¿Existe traducción completa al castellano de La rueda roja de Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn?
Es una tetralogía compuesta por Agosto de 1914, Octubre de 1916, Marzo de 1917 y Abril de 1917. #LaRuedaRoja #Solzhenitsyn

In #Russia, monuments to #Stalin are being erected again.

According to #Solzhenitsyn, Stalin was responsible for 100 million deaths in his own country. How can such a figure be honored?

The answer lies in nostalgia - many Russians seek strength in past power. Under #Putin, Russia has weakened, while the #USSR was once feared by both the #US and #China. Restoring Stalin’s image is an attempt to reclaim that lost significance.

About attempts of Western scholars to present #Solzhenitsyn as a "ggod #Russian."
Yes, he was dissident against #Soviet oppression, but he was supportive of oppressing Jews, Ukrainians, basically anyone who opposed imperial #Russia.

@AnnaOdesitka: I’m so sick of people trying to sell me “good russian” like Solzhenitsyn. Oh he was dissident against Soviet oppression🙄 Only because it oppressed him. He hated Jews and would have fully supported gul...…

Read "One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich" after Aleksandr #Solzhenitsyn won the Nobel Prize for Literature.
Can recall its matter of fact tone describing existence in a helpless situation.
Not sure if I want to re-read it over New Year's break even as an antidote to overindulgence.
