I agree. This man has more honor, dignity and integrity in his little finger than most people. He is a giant in history. No need to forgive him for loving his God and his country.
I have read nearly all of his books. Gulag is awesome. Anyone that reads that book would NEVER have a collectivist inclination.
For history lovers, his book on the battle of Tannenberg in WWI, I think it is “July 1914” is a great book.
Solzhenitsyn once said when he just had come to America that there were more Marxists in Western Universities than in the Soviet Union (basically the thugs in charge in the USSR used communism to maintain power after years of failure they knew it wasn’t working).

“Solzhenitsyn once said when he just had come to America that there were more Marxists in Western Universities than in the Soviet Union”
Wow.
I wish I knew exactly what he was referring to in the article when he said... “In my last Western interview before I returned to Russia (for Forbes magazine in April 1994) I said: “If we look far into the future, one can see a time in the 21st century when both Europe and the USA will be in dire need of Russia as an ally.”
He’s got to mean Islam... or China.
