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.
One of my heroes.
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 isnt it. When millennials just Read to read and decide that reading is all all that is needed... that is what the Bolshevik Prof wants!!!!
I hope you’re right.
