Russians are paying their final respects to Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, who died of heart failure on Sunday.

The 89-year-old will be buried in the Russian capital after a church service on August 6.

Isn't it interesting that 200 years together by Solzhenitsyn has not been translated in english yet.

NOBEL PRIZEWINNER Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn

in his opus,The Gulag Archipelago,used the research of a Soviet statistician who had

access to secret government files,I.A Kurganov,to estimate that between 1918 and 1959, at least 66 million died at the hands of the Communist rulers of Russia.

Although that number is likely too high,in Gulag Archipelago II,Solzhenitsyn affirms that Jews created & administered the organized Soviet concentration camp system in which TENS OF MILLIONS OF CHRISTIANS DIED.
