Solzhenitsyn is a good quote.

A Jewish-atheist communist who got multiple portions of collectivism crammed down his throat.

Are you saying Solzhenitsyn was Jewish?

He wasn't. Solzhenitzyn was a vocal support of the Russian Orthodox Church.

He was also accused of anti-Semitism (because who isn't?) for his final book, 200 Years Together. For that reason, it's his only book that remains unpublished in the U.S.

It was a best seller in Europe. Unofficial and incomplete English translations have long been available on the internet.

Announcements of upcoming English publications have been periodically announced. Now they say it's set for late 2028.

"Are you saying Solzhenitsyn was Jewish?"

Yes, that's my understanding. I stand ready to be informed and corrected. I thought his family was Jewish, then he was in the Russian Orthodox church, and then became an atheist.

I sincerely ask you educate and inform me. Was he Christian all along? That would explain his writings.
