Solzhenitsyn fought in the Second World War, was sent to the Gulag, and developed cancer, and still made it to 89 years old. What a survivor.

What a revival?

Solzhenistyn is more than a dissident author & academic, he was,and still is a hero to ALL.

*At school the crucifix I wore was torn from my neck : it was a way of saying, Look at him, he's the enemy.* Solzhenitsyn's words.

The soul that was in this man ! His genius that broke forth from his pain and his scars. His labours which were great.

*God Bless Solzhenitsyn.*

I read The Gulag Archipelago when I was 14 years old. That book made me grow up sooner than I should have to the horrors of the world and man kind. Stalin and his henchmen were monsters

I had to read a 'day in the life' at school when I was 14... It was a complete waste of time, because it meant nothing to me, and the teacher had no idea how to make it meaningful. C'est la vie.

Amazing man who's inspired me since I first saw him in the early seventies. Thank you so much for an amazing documentary , respect : )

Very good to hear his voice and see him talk. Since 1970 I have read nearly everything he wrote, partly many times over. But all the time I find new stuff, because translations are lagging behind. Soon March and April 17 will be finally translated into English too.

Mr Solzhenitsyn is spot on in his condemnation of the laziness and mediocrity of most Western journalists including the self-important BBC.

His observations of the West ate stunningly accurate, not in least in these days.

His views of the value of suffering took me a while to adapt to but once they settled in my mind I began to understand. His friend Shafarevich in "From Under the Rubble" suggests western intellectuals have a Freudian death wish. Sounds right to me.

My gosh I can relate to this guy in the way of how he talks about all of the research he did. I am constantly wanting to learn as much about everything from war to aircraft, hunting, fighter planes, animals, science, and history which brings me here. I have been studying Russia, and communism for months now after hearing a series of talks from Jordan Peterson. I am also Roman Catholic so I suppose it would be a good thing to research this farther in depth to help get a better picture of Fatima.

Abjure hard liquor, recreational drugs and tobacco. *Remember always the end and that time lost will not be returned to you.* Thomas a Kempis. J Peterson would agree.
