Two decades after being expelled from the USSR, Nobel laureate Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn returns to Russia in an emotional homecoming.
In 1945, Solzhenitsyn was sentenced to eight years of hard labor for criticizing Stalin in a letter to a friend. His prison experiences formed the basis for One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich, his famous first novel. In 1970, he was awarded the Nobel Prize in literature and began work on The Gulag Archipelago, his vast history of the Soviet totalitarian system, from Lenin’s ascension to the official Soviet denunciation of Stalin.
Foreign publication of this work led to his expulsion from the USSR in 1974, and he settled in the United States. Soviet officials dropped charges of treason against Solzhenitsyn in 1990. One year later, the Soviet Union collapsed and in 1994 Solzhenitsyn returned home. There, he continued writing and often publicly criticized the post-Soviet Russian government.
Solzhenitsyn died of heart failure in Moscow on August 3, 2008. He was 89.

Well worth reading in the light of what’s happening in America today. If you don’t learn from history you will learn from suffering.
Stop it, Mr. Socrates! You KNOW the answers to those questions!
Yo, I went to the Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn Center to learn more about this book. They have like about a 3 paragraph summary. In it they only really make a point of addressing that, according to them, “Solzhenitsyn emphatically denies (in Chapters 9 and 14) that the Russian revolutions of 1905 and 1917 were the result of a “Jewish conspiracy” (just as he had earlier forcefully criticized the extreme nationalists who were and are obsessed with Freemasons and Jews—”
Of course I am of the understanding that the first revolution in February 1917 was a peasant revolt and even though Lenin was involved it may not have smacked of Jewish conspiracy. The October revolution on the other hand was an overthrow–not a revolution-IMO- and he may not have been referring to that one if he in fact did emphatically deny.
Anyway I got the impression The Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn Center is controlled opposition. Do ya think?
Here is the link to which Ben Lurken refers …

My own further research indicates that while AS does NOT place sole blame on the Jews for Russia turning communist (1917) …. he also clearly states that Jewish participation did play a major role … along with other key factors.
Going to a couple Jewish oriented web sites what did I find? Universal condemnation! Solzhenitsyn was an Anti-Semetic nutjob!!! There ya go …. ANY criticism of da Joo = EEEEVUL!!!
That answers Arch’s question. Since most Publishing in America is controlled by Jews — that’s pretty factual, is it not? — suppression is inevitable. However, the website above states an English version is due for release in 2024.
Good article on Unz today:

Correction: GREAT article!
Just a coincidence.
