[Alberta's Child]

I've read Solzhenitsyn, and I think you'd be mighty disappointed to learn that he was: (1) a Russian nationalist first and foremost, (2) a strong opponent of Ukrainian sovereignty, and (3) a big fan of Putin, by all accounts.

An interesting contemporary read:

Putin's Pique

[elhombrelibre]

You’re full of it. Solzhenitsyn had no interest in Russian empire and he considered Peter the Great an abomination, unlike Putin who never cared about all the Russian peasants Peter the Great harmed for his autocracy and narcissism. I’m done with you. You’re an obvious admirer of autocracy and a Putinista without any common decency. Go drool over Putin with his shirt off, ya bozo.
