Solzhenitsyn cannot be forgiven for slandering Mikhail Sholokhov, one of Russia's finest writers. The scoundrel Solzhenitsyn accused Sholokhov of stealing "Silent Don".

Solzhenitsyn promoted a reactionary, feudalist, anti-Semitic, superstitious ideology.

As a writer he wasn't very good. Masterpieces of 20th Ru literature include Gorky's "Mother" and Sholokohv's "Quiet Don."

He wasn't such a patriot either. He regretted that the Germans didn't conquer Russia. He was a literary Vlasovite who supported the enemy. He collaborated with Russia's enemies in USA.

He was no humanist. He supported the aggression against Vietnam

Where are today's Hemingways, Steinbecks, and Faulkners? The Jewish publishing cabal refuses us an English edition of the last book of Solzhenitsyn, the greatest 20th century writer, and at once promotes mediocre Jewish writers. We see a measurable decline in American literature corresponding to greater Jewish control of English publications here in the US.

They were not Jews, it´s just the anti-semitism of Solzhenitsyn. It was not a secret that even for his fellow dissidents, he was an anti-semitic fascist.

You mean that, like Stalin, they were not practitioners of Judaism. They were indeed ethnic Jews.  Jews controlled the Gulags. Stalin went so far as to provide a whole section of Russia, the "Jewish Oblast:" for Jews, but did similarly accommodate the other Russian minority groups.

Sorry, correction: He did NOT provide similar accommodations to other minority groups.
