He is an idiot Russophile and is a disgrace to his fellow victims in the gulag.

I can't believe I am reading this on Free Republic. Alexander S. is a living legend and a hero, as well as a great writer. There is nothing wrong with a Russian being a "Russophile." What he is not is a a godless, atheist Communist.

His speech at Harvard was brilliant and should be required reading for all conservatives, and anyone who has any doubts of the evil of the Communist regime can have that corrected by simply reading a small portion of the Gulag Archipelago.

SPIEGEL: All your life you have called on the authorities to repent for the millions of victims of the gulag and communist terror. Was this call really heard?

Solzhenitsyn: I have grown used to the fact that, throughout the world, public repentance is the most unacceptable option for the modern politician.”

I daresay the old Russophile is dead on.

as it turns out, Solzhenitsyn is worried about the survival of the Russian nation. Russia, he says, could face a Ukrainian-style uprising financed by foreign interests:

“An Orange Revolution may take place if tensions between the public and the authorities flare up and money begins flowing to the opposition.”
