I'll have to read the abridged version myself to get the "government approved" view of things.

The one thing I can't wrap my mind around is: why should I pay to get the neo-Bolshevik revision?

I hope to find a copy in a public library, eventually.

I should think Solzhenitsyn’s widow’s imprimatur would be enough for anyone.

Or do you think Mrs. Solzhenitsyn’s is a “neo-Bolshevik?”

Have you read all three volumes yourself?

In any case, you can hardly deny that Putin personally bestowed Russia’s highest award, the State Prize, on Solzhenitsyn and it is freely available in numerous editions to all Russians.
