The fashion of the day regarding the press: Today that is Marxism.
16:25 ..."Asiatic dictator"...how the heck is Stalin Asiatic?
Why do the guards make those noises when theyre walking?

Dude literally went to hell on earth to earn this nobel prize.
17:30
Wow, this man really deserved the prize, more than Maria Ressa.
Evidently not enough people were listening. If that speech had been given today on just about any college campus Antifa stormtroopers would be there to shout him down and then riot (oh, excuse me. "Peacefully protest").
And shows how ignorant you are that you thunk Antifa is the enemy or what Alexandre dealt with and wrote about.

He was one of a kind. Literally, tens of millions of people probably saw what he saw, and he's the only one who stood up and did what he did, as effectively as he did. I'm reading the 3rd part of Gulag Archipelago and I'm so glad I was told about it!
What vision! His analysis and prognosis are perfect. I only hope that our brothers and sisters in the "modern" world soon awaken to the truth he spoke.
read "200 hundered years together by Solzhenitsyn" and learn why that war today
Excellent video upgrade
He had balls. One of my five favourite writers.
An excellent informative programme. Thank you.
Mr Solzhenitsyn is spot on in his condemnation of the laziness and mediocrity of most Western journalists including the self-important BBC.
It is truly disgusting the way that the Western middle class Left helped hide the horrors of this vile regime while spitting their poison at the USA - always the USA. Through their attempts to sanitise and ignore this part of history these loathsome lefties are thoroughly implicated in the vast crimes of the Soviet tyranny.
Brilliant! Solzhenitsyn is one of the few great thinkers of our time. His suffering at the hands of wicked people, not to mention his commitment and great creative gifts, allow him to occupy the highest of all moral grounds.
I’m used to a prophet closing with “may you who have ears to hear, hear”
Глядя на то, что происходит в Украине... Я не знаю, как эта нация может производить таких замечательных писателей.🤔 Patrząc na to co dzieje się na Ukrainie...nie wiem jakim cudem ten naród może wydać tak wspaniałych pisarzy.
He was predicting today's events
Can you put the new Russian movie of this up check the trailer out it was made a year ago
I only saw the British version 😮
He is right, yet he is also misguided by being short sighted, as history is measured in centuries. There is an undoubtedly fall in courage, and decline in morals, and there will be a resurgence of these values as happened many times before. United States has a interesting trait, that was absent in Soviet Union, and is absent in many other western nations. This is an ability to eventually adapt or correct course, albeit after many failures. Churchill said it better, "Americans will always do the right thing, only after they have tried everything else."
Thanks
Prophetic. Telling of the importance of looking deep into the foundational universal issues regarding human nature.
Amazing! "Only voluntary, inspired self-restraint can raise man above the world stream of materialism." This speech will undoubtedly change my life.
Russia has seemed to always have the role of a guiding intellectual pointing the way for the people and government. And in a fatherly way point out for us the pitfalls and narrow paths to guide our spirtial and cultural development upward. In the tragedy of the soviet union the man appointed this God given role was Solzhenitsyn. I love him dearly. In the foot steps of Solzhenitsyn, Jordan Peterson has been given this mantel. And what a cowardly weak job he has done. As in his own words what he fears most through this libertine hellscape is the rise of authoritarian right wing government arising from it! Not the desecration of all that was once holy to our people. Nor the disenfranchisement of native peoples of Europe and America, who through love of justice and obedience to God created the greatest civilizations and beauty this world has ever seen. God save us all, our bulwark against terror and hell itself has fallen.
Harvard the rectum of the beast. This man missed nothing. Absolutely nothing. I could not imagine a better more perfect criticism of the west. He hit it all. Absolutely unapparelled in his analysis.
I recited this speech in clearer English for you to hear his words even clearer, to help deliver this relevant and exceptionally important message. Спасибо за ваши жертвы, сэр. Покойся с миром 🙏
I've just finished watching the entire series, now I'm crying inside, but the tears are not running, for all those souls who gave their everything in order to save the World and the world - destroyed them. The most Christian story of all the stories.
Whereas in Canada, the GULAG consists of life outside the government.
That Stalin fella, seems a decent enough bloke, if you ask me.
6:55 The moment his smile disappears, you know exactly what and who he's thinking about.
A lot of mistakes in English translation btw.
Thank you. One of my favorite series. Watched it 10 times already. Is there any chance you can upload the HD version? 720, 1020 etc...
Liberalism-> Radicalism-> Socialism-> Communism.
Liberalism (Fascism/Communism/Liberalism) -> 4th Political Theory
-> New World Order. WE HAVE BEEN WARNED
More relevant in 2022 than ever. This should be compulsory viewing for everyone.
Prophetic speech for today's times. Incredible!
Maybe you should read more marginalized writers and thinkers. Schopenhauer, Spengler, Henry Adams, Dostoevsky etc...
The Russians and Eastern Europe teach Solzhenitsyn in school to their children. In the US he is basically banned... for pointing out there was a particular clique of people that was the primary driver of the Soviet Union's ideology, atrocities and depravity. Russia will eventually be a much freer place than anywhere in "The West", if it isn't aleady in 2022.
That scene with Vera seemed pointless, gratuitous and jarring. It had no narrative value, even less than the bathroom/ highway scene.
I hope russians are listening to him. Read his books.
Today the very idea of inviting and allowing someone like A. Solzhenitsyn to deliver a commencement address at Harvard - or any Ivy League university - would incite campus-wide protests and riots and car burning, and his words and ideas would be labelled 'hate speech'. The totalitarian tyranny of the Soviet system may have expired in Russia - but is today reborn, alive and well in America, VOTED IN by Americans.
and ushered in by internationalists
There was no totalitarianism in the USSR, I lived and live there. Everyone has been lying and lying to you about the USSR and Russia. In the USSR there was free education, medicine, housing. And there were no loans.
Is it in this address where he effectively condemns the then US media corporations for sabotaging the war effort in Vietnam? His belief at the time was that the spread of communism by military force and terrorism was an existential threat, and so considered the US fight in Vietnam to have been a moral and virtuous one even.
Invest the time and listen to it. 13:21 tells every American what our lives are all about in America.
Why don't you take the time to listen to it and answer that question for yourself? To make such a bold statement should have integrity behind it, and if you're commenting to check if something is part of an hour long talk, that you can't be bothered to watch and listen to yourself, really doesn't show a lot of integrity on your behalf. If it's in there, provide us with the timestamp please.
This was unsatisfying, I could not hear either of them for the other.
Turn on CC
I have recited this on my channel for clear listening!
lol not sure it was meant to be satisfying (your statement is perhaps eerily telling!)
As an American, his words shame and inspire me. Old fashioned is exactly what is needed, and I don’t know how to bring his courage into my life. Listening to him, I realized that Russians have a say in our lives even though they lost the Cold War, and we should still make an effort to understand those that have been left out of our mainstream culture
Havard is the door to hell and this wretch think they care what he has to say.
what about Yale???
Columbia is the gateway.
@@LoyalOpposition Yale = Skull & Bones
Wow.
Hi, who know that TV is broadcasting this speech? could you please help, thx
I have recited this on my channel for clear listening!
It Seems baffling to Me, speaking as an African how Earnestly The West Was Warned by Dr Solzhenitsyn and others about the dangers of the Unbridled Materialistic Humanist Social Justice Movements and How it'd would poison your Societies And you Slackers *STILL* let it Happen!!!
We won't listen to a Prophet, for we believe we are god & We know better. We have driven God out of our schools' churches & government putting children over us to rule us.
The difficulty is that these things are usually well meaning in their conception, they just get adopted by the politicians to try and win more votes. Unfortunately total equality will never be possible, yet some insist on tearing down everything our ancestors built to achieve it, and allege that any equality means that the system is corrupt.
Thinking of him now during the abortion uprise. What is a right?
I think the tricky part is that if a right shouldn't trump the right of another person, and an unborn baby is a person, then that baby would have a right to live. Then we have to compare the right of the mother to the right of the baby; which then is more important: to be unobstructed when making a choice or to save your life?
Pro Abortion denies the right to life of the unborn. Abortion is murder of the defenceless.
abortion is an entirely different topic. I think it's an honest conversation of when life begins, what constitutes it, and subsequently at what point we owe that life human rights. Although one may think Western 'democracy' is the best form of governance, no honest form comes without difficult introspection and conflict. It's inherent to our societ. Abortion is a debate that will go on for a very, very long time (and may only be complicated by AI), and it boggles my mind how either side could fail to consider their own fallacies. There are great arguments on both sides, and the more I listen to both, the more I realize this is a topic that can't be resolved in the foreseeable future.
What does it say about a society when you kill your own offspring...
