Agreed. Some have called Solzheitsyn "the conscience of the 20th century." I'd award him that same title for the 21st century as well.

But the fight for our planet, physical and spiritual, a fight of cosmic proportions, is not a vague matter of the future; it has already started.

One of the most important statements in this speech. Yet so few seem to be willing to admit that there is such a battle, much less take the fight back to the enemy. And that enemy is now out there for all to see.

Western thinking has become conservative: the world situation should stay as it is at any cost, there should be no changes. This debilitating dream of a status quo is the symptom of a society which has come to the end of its development.

Quite a remarkable statement.
