Pastor Bill,

Thanks for posting this. It’s a good summary of key points in the speech.

Listening to Jordan Peterson by podcast these days I have heard him mention the Gulag as a very important book. And we must be sure to keep Solzenitsyn’s wisdom alive in our times.

There’s great power in the content of this speech. However, as I’m sure you noticed as you studied the speech, Solzhenitsyn’s text is academic, cumbersome to read, and doesn’t flow well to the average American’s ear.

So when I have some spare time, I thought I might try editing the speech somewhat.

What say ye to that idea?

Solzhenitsyn is the greatest novelist of the 20th century even more so than Faulkner.

Might need a better translation.

good idea. The speech is too powerful to go down the memory hole!
