⭐This is a plea by one a moral giant to the despotic leaders of what was then the USSR. Solzhenitsyn in exile had written a letter to the leaders of his motherland from exile asking them to consider opening up the system so people could breathe. When his letter fell on deaf ears, he expanded his thoughts and published it. This made it accessible to the entire world. They still ignored his prophetic advice. Putin is the logical outcome of such a closed system. It is the testimony of one who had high hopes for his former country. Navalny or Nemtsov might have achieved the goals that Solzhenitsyn had for Russia.

⭐By the same author I would recommend WARNING TO THE WEST and then take time to ponder

⭐This letter to the USSR hierarchy predicts exactly what’s happening in the world today.

⭐This is a crucial document in the life and work of Alexandr Solzhenitzyn and in the history of dissidence in the former Soviet Union.

⭐Great condition!

⭐Many people talk of the ‘anger’ in this skilful essay by the literary genius that is, Solzhenitsyn.What I read into his carefully selected words was ‘optimism’ and the distinct possibility of ‘change’. Nothing more and nothing less. And the writing is, academically speaking, excellent.This essay could easily be applied to today’s problems around the world. It is well paced and full of audacity.However, the reader must place the text in its true context for it to have the impact that it deserves; the significant historical period of the Cold War era. It must be judged for its weighty relevance at the time.Solshenitsyn carried out an extremely brave act by openly analyzing and then voicing his view of the communist, political landscape. This was a time when people that escaped the communist regime, or were expelled (as he was), feared for their lives. My own father defected in 1975 from Romania and he managed to extract my mother and me out of the country three years later. The fear that asylum seekers lived with was tremendous. Never knowing what waits just around the corner.Solzhenitsyn was recognized for raising awareness of the Gulags and the forced labor system that Russia was built upon. And the awareness was accomplished through his selflessness.This essay is worth reading.I am truly glad to have found a hard back copy of it.

⭐Ok but not beautiful. At least i can read it.
