It simply defies logic to assume anyone who has read The Gulag Archipelago, regardless of their age, still retains any semblance of regard for Stalin. Have you read it, both volumes one and two?

You sound like someone who has not.

If the current Russian regime were to ban the works of Solzhenitsyn, what you write might make sense. But they have not, rather the opposite.

Are still living in the Cold War?

I didn’t make up the poll numbers. They are what they are. And no I have not read it in its entirety. Excerpts here and there. How does my not having read it in its entirety explain Stalin’s poll numbers in Russia getting better over time with Solzhenitsyn’s GA widely available?

As for the cold war, it never ended as far as I am concerned. Russia is still a dangerous enemy allowed to exert much more influence in the world than their economic standing should allow.
