Have you read Gulag? It’s a very compelling look at everything that happened in the Gulag system, railcars full of nuns filled with rapists on purpose, children starved to death and denied their mothers, it’s brutal.

IIRC Solzhenitsyn is required reading in Russia.

Everything that is wrong with society is right here; please look at the first 10 to 20 quotes and you will see “I”, “I read”.
Ok, what did you learn from the greatest read ever? Just “I Read”? Telling isn’t it. When millennial’s just Read to read and decide that reading is all all that is needed... that is what the Bolshevik Prof wants!!!!

If you want a real read, try Applebaum’s Gulag. It’s a horrific look at the gulag that not even Ivan Denisovich can approach.
I agree! Anne Applebaum's 'Gulag' is definitely the best, most comprehensive (and shocking) of all the 'Soviet prison camp' books I have read. After I read it the first time, I immediately started at the beginning and re-read it, something I have NEVER done with any other book. I recommend it to anyone interested in this subject. Other great ones I have read: 'Seven Thousand Days in Siberia', 'Kolyma Tales', 'White Nights' (Menachem Begin), 'When Tears Turn to Ice' and 'The Long Way Home'...also if you get a chance watch the TV movie 'Coming Out of the Ice' with John Savage...excellent also
