All the social pathologies Solzhenitsyn saw then are now 10X greater in our society.

Exactly 42 years ago today, on June 8, 1978, Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn traveled the New England roads from his place of refuge in Vermont to the oldest institution of higher education in the United States, Harvard University, where he delivered the keynote Commencement Address for that year.

Nowadays, the woke mob would never allow someone like Solzhenitsyn to speak.

"Should one point out that from ancient times decline in courage has been considered the beginning of the end?"

Solzhenitsyn certainly understood the risks of civilizational collapse that were facing us in the 70's, and many have only grown worse over the years. Our leadership is largely devoid of courage when facing those who would destroy the Western way of life. This is how Donald Trump got elected, for the people of America who still share the republican values of our founders saw in him, unlike so many others, the courage to stand up to the lies and lullabies of the Left that have taken us so far down the road to ruin. And this is why he must be re-elected in November, for without his courageous leadership against the enemies of America, we are surely doomed.

Solzhenitsyn is one of the most brilliant men ever.

He is now required reading in Russia. Far cry from the old days.
