Sorry but Alexandr Solzhenitsy n didnt just speak out against the corruption within the regime, but against the Marxist ideologyl! (saying it was purely violent wich it isnt) He was a royalist who also criticised the Spanish social democrat mouvements in Spain during the 70s against for a democracy saying that "theese mouvements are the same that got millions killed in the soviet Union. He was a crook!
Some maniac butchered him, according to militia rapports taken by Russian hackers, his body looked as if it was savaged by a wild animal and pieces of gnawed-on limbs had been flung across the room like garbage. :)
Thank you for posting this video, Father. I go to the University of Dallas, and I recently took a class on Marxism and Russia. The last two books we read for that class were the Gulag Archipelago and the First Cricle. These books affected my thinking forever. I find myself reflecting on them constantly. I have asked God to allow me to remember the Gulag every day of my life for as long as I live. I think if I can do that, I will be genuinely wise.
Your Welcome. May I also, therefore, recommend to you He Leadeth Me by Fr. Walter Czizek. A fascinating story of a priest who was a prisoner in the GULAG's I use it often in my preaching.
Thanks Father. I will check that book out for sure. Again, thank you for your work and dedication as a priest. It means a lot to me that there are still men willing to minister to us in Christ's priesthood despite the hostility directed at them by the corrupt secular culture.
I'm reading Gulag Archipelago right now. Excellent work. He Leadeth Me by Fr. Walter Czizek is good; I appreciated even more, however, his With God in Russia. Some other good books that reveal the state of life in the gulag: Fr. Arseny, and the sequel book Cloud of Witnesses.
REMARKABLE MAN. my parents talked about solzhenitsyn ALL the time.
my maternal grandfather was a lieutenant colonel in the russian white army,and the mayor of his town. he was sent to the gulag for refusing to join the "bolsheviks communist jewish gangsters'regime"
my paternal grandfather was a russian orthodox priest, he was executed in front of his church; other young men from my parents' neighborhood were hang for refusing to participate in "the communist jewish gangsters' regime"...
There was no "the communist Jewish regime" in Russia. And Solzhenitsyn was sent to GULAG not for refusing to join Communist regim. Solzhenitcy was convicted because being an officer of Soviet Army during the war he wrote a number of letters to his friends critisizing the Commander ih chief.
@beargrizly67 AND for collaborating with the SS. He actually questioned the USSR "why are we fighting each other if we both stand for the same ideals"
How coincidental that I was looking at a Benedictine monastery in New Mexico just before I typed "Solzhenitsyn" into the YouTube search window.
And yes, that Harvard crowd was certainly expecting a simplistic view presented to them, not a critique of legalistic and pluralistic Western society.
I've read One Day probably three time over the course of my four years of college, only the first time was required. I also had to read his Harvard address for another class. Both are powerful and moving and I feel that reading them would be to anyone's benefit.

Nobel Peace Prize? I thought it was for literature?

@topboss It was in literature - in 1970. The speaker is mistaken. It wasn't for peace.

Soljenitsyn´s books where the first twilight saga. He was a crook who successfully fucked tens of millions in the ass and got away with it.
