Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn was a man who dominated the latter part of the 20th century when I was reading him, who wrote nonfiction and fiction, who wrote from history—his history. And I welcome someone to help me tell that story, because here we are at war with Russia in some fashion.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn was at war with Russia in another fashion in his lifetime. He first served the country, and then he fought the country.
I welcome Richard Reinsch, the editor in chief of Civitas Outlook. This is a think tank at the University of Texas, as well as a publication, Civitas Institute, that I recommend highly. Richard has done us a favor of writing a review and an analysis of a recent collection of Solzhenitsyn's speeches, remarks, written entirely after he was exiled from his Mother Russia.
He did return after the fall of the Soviet. And yet still, all these decades later, there is the compelling need to understand what Nixon was telling us about his country and about our country as well.
Who was Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn?
