I am reading “The Gulag Archipelago”. I can’t believe I have not read it yet. Just want to see where we are going if we are not careful.

Three volumes, depressing as Hell (literally, except that it is temporary), and 1,200 pages of Russian names. I can believe it. I was assigned and read a sizeable portion of Volume II. After reading about the tirtures of male political prisoners, and finding out that "the women were treated worse", I had had enough.

I loved his portrayal of Stalin in The Red Circle. I think he got into Stalin's head better than any other novelist or dramatist.

Look at Nancy Pelosi’s personal prison, we are already there.
