To me, he'll always be a Janus: An inspirational figure whose first-hand accounts taught us about the horrors of Stalinism. On the other hand a pious hermit, a Russian nationalist on the verge of anti-semitism and delusion.

Whatever! R.I.P., old man! :wave2:

saying it.

Solzhenitsyn - Respect due :bowdown:

Knew who he was and that he had been a political prisoner for a long time and all that.But didn't know much else.Sure didn't know he was still alive.

R.I.P.
