“האם יכול אדם להתקיים ללא השקפות אישיות אודות טוב ורע, ובמקום לספוג אותן מן ההוראות הכתובות והבלתי-כתובות של מפקדיו? שבועות! אותן הבטחות שמושמעות בקול רוטט, ומטרתן לשמור על האנשים מפני הרשעים: ראו באיזו קלות יכולות הן לסטות לעזרת הרשעים, ונגד האנשים.”

About Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn

Soviet and Russian author and dissident

Aleksandr Isayevich Solzhenitsyn was a Soviet and Russian author and dissident. He is known for drawing world attention to political repression in the Soviet Union, especially the Gulag prison system, and for receiving the 1970 Nobel Prize in Literature. His nonfiction book The Gulag Archipelago confronted the Soviet state directly and reached a vast readership. The work made his critique of repression widely known and confirmed his place as a major voice in Russian letters.
