Solzhenitsyn biography Wikipedia

It is written simultaneously with the lengthy article “What threatens America in a bad understanding of Russia” and is a concise variant of some of its provisions [6]. The fatal mistakes of the West regarding communism began from the very beginning of the Western governments did not see their mortal danger. In Russia, then all previously hosted forces united against communism - from state to cadets and right -wing socialists.

Not combined with them in some rows, disparate, but thousands of peasant and dozens of workers of uprisings resisted communism the whole thickness of the people. The Red Army was collected by the executions of tens of thousands of evading Bolypevsky mobilization. Even during the life of Lenin, the innocent civilian population was no less than under Hitler - and today American schoolchildren, unanimously calling Hitler the greatest villain of history, - Lenin is considered a benefactor.

Western countries, competing among themselves, hurried economically to strengthen and diplomatically support the Soviet regime that could not survive without this help. The death of 6 million from hunger in Ukraine and the Kuban Europe danced. For a few months, about 3 million warriors surrendered! This was an open expression that our people craving out the end of communism - and the West could not understand this if he wanted to see.

But it seemed to the West that all world threats - in one Hitler, and with his overthrow there would be no danger on Earth. The West then with all his might helped Stalin saddle the national horse under communist power.

So in the Second World War, the West defended not universal freedom, but only freedom for himself. The phenomenon of communism of the 20th century is explained by the incorrigible properties of the Russian nation - in fact, a racist look. She simply cannot otherwise. So is communism: it cannot but capture new countries, an evil instinct, and not at all intelligent striving for capture and the whole world.

Communism is a new quality that is not seen in all world history, and severlessly look for analogues. The whole comedy of “discharge” is needed by communism only in order to strengthen at the expense of Western finances these loans will not be returned to Western equipment - before starting the next big offensive. Communism is stronger and durable than Nazism, it is much thinner and smarter in propaganda and knows how to play such comedies.

Communism will never be reborn, it will always show humanity a mortal threat. This is like an infection in the global body: no matter how it lurks - it will inevitably hit infection. And here is their treatment: just do not angry the Brezhnev regime! Communism is hostile to all nationality and destroys everything. The American anti-war movement for a long time was amused by the hope that in North Vietnam, nationalism and communism are harmonious, that communism takes care of the national self-determination of its beloved people.

And the burning suffering of millions of dying Cambodians to whom the world is already accustomed to more strikingly show the same. But the same mortal abyss and hatred lies between the Chinese government and the Chinese people. But the Communist government vigilantly monitors its slave and most of all suppresses his uncomfortable consciousness ... In anticipation of the Third World War, the West is looking for again who to obscure - and finds communist China in allies!

This is again a betrayal - not only Taiwan, but of the whole oppressed Chinese people - for he is pushed by the horse under the communist horseman. Communism stops only when he meets the wall - at least a wall of unshakable will. To have the courage to see July [edit] is a soaring in the sphere of illusions, this seemed as if a deliberate self -deception is a characteristic feature of the Western press and many Western political figures: to believe only in the desired and verbally conjure in order to be carried out.

In their views, we already recognize fierce atheism as the main core of the worldview, and fierce intolerance and anger to all other party directions, and even to some Slavic peoples, taken intact. Many global processes as a substitution of religious creativity by social, he artificially attributes to one Russia. The collective farm system is destructive economically, but beneficial politically.

So the agriculture of the communist country is built not from the calculation of the crop, but "ideologically." The Great Power - buys everything, from electronics to grain, and sells only the bowels and weapons. They must be indifferent to the suffering of their people in the past, present and future: a member of the caste - only while he is faithful to the system, but is knocked out of it with the slightest illness.

Communism is a trap, from which no people have never jumped out. No personal tyranny can be compared with ideological communism: for any personal tyrant there are limits where power saturates it. But no separate country can saturate total communist power. But it is quite capable of blow, capture, military expansion - this is a necessary form of the existence of communism.

This law of external aggression is mandatory for all communist countries.Communisms are all anti -human, and if which behaves outwardly more humble, then he just did not gain military force. And - there is no country on Earth with immunity against communism. Now in the West there is great excitement in connection with the change of leadership in the Soviet Union and, of course, high hopes.

And, of course, several light indicative steps from the new leadership, especially in intellectual freedom and emigration, will already give a “signal” that everything is corrected. A review of Soviet reality shows that the situation can not be corrected either by a change of leaders, nor a dozen symbolic gestures, but only the fundamental recovery of the life of the people.

This argument is amazing. Then the choice of the Christian faith, the baptism of children - all the more should not be the “whip of parents”, but wait for a state indication in that? And Ukrainians are not “free in choice”. So - violence again? No, you don’t need this dictatorship, let all culture grow, as it is natural. But only if it is carried out quite fairly.

Different areas have a completely different historical origin, unlike the population, and the fate of the residents of the region cannot be decided by the abuse of the average arithmetic according to the vast millionth republic. And tense areas for the future will be created. Provide an unhinished free vote - and everyone will obey him. Our literature has lost a subtle expert on Russian poetry and a precious witness to the half -century Soviet era, who retained us such hidden wealth that would have sunk without it.

A case of an unprecedented case in the world literature appeared before the reading public. The twenty -year -old debutant created a work on a material that far exceeds his life experience and his level of education of the four -class. We, in Rostov-on-Don, spoke so confidently that I, the summer boy, clearly remembered these conversations of adults.

But, the hot adherent of the Don, he was most interested in the bright novel about Don to be opened, but all sorts of clarifications about some “White Guard” author could only close the printing. During the statute of limitations, in the absence of material manuscripts, the current formulation of the issue is purely literary: to study and explain all the riddles of the “quiet Don”, which prevented him from becoming a higher book than it is today - the riddles of his heterogeneity and mutually exclusive trends in it.

If we do not analyze this book and this problem - what will all our Russian literary criticism of the 20th century cost? Will all his best efforts go only to the official-approved? Viner, not knowing anything about his works, N. For forty years, a professor of Moscow University, of course, was never marked by any state reward, but was constantly crowded. From this publication, the reader will quickly see how the Russian proletariat in that “revolutionary cradle” understood the government of the invaders.

Shafarevich, February [] This book is inherent in the grace of successful works, when, in addition to clarifying the given topic, the author simultaneously illuminates other issues, sometimes more important. So, in this story of liberalism, we also find a deep excretion of some leading reasons that made a possible revolution in Russia. However, a strictly sustained formal law line of vision sometimes narrows the author and its interpretation of Russian history, where not everything can be put into such a direction.

Leontovich, all this work as a whole helped me to recreate the feeling of the depths of the Russian language, which I foreshadowed, but was deprived of their southern birth, city youth - and which, as I understood more acutely, we all undeservedly discarded the haste of our century, according to the negligence of the description and the bachelorable Soviet custom. However, in my books, I could appropriately use only a five hundredth part of the found.

And in our time, the mixing of the population is all the more not the localization of the word, but its quality. Why, how much is the word: try to invent the word “traveling” for the first time for the first time-they will laugh that it is pompous and artificially. In this vocabulary expansion, we meet the words of hundreds of new shades, an unusual number of syllables and not yet used rhymes.

Even in conscientious efforts - what a ugly, clumsy system is powerless - powerless in management, strong only in oppression. Was there anywhere in history when-such power: steadily leading his people to extinction-and at the same time called folk? Popova "Peasantry and the state", Malo art works.
