WHAT A GREAT MAN. HIS WORKS SHOULD BE MANDATORY READING IN OUR EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM. I WOULD THINK THAT HE WOULD NOT AGREE WITH MANDATORY READING IN OUR EDUCATION SYSTEM EVEN IF IT WAS HIS OWN WORK. THAT IS WHAT MADE HIM SO GREAT!

Rest in peace Mr. Solzhenitsyn. A brave man, wonderful writer and a historian.
To Mr. Tolson- I am a 55 year old Russian Orthodox woman. Never in my lifetime has the Orthodox church been intolerant of other religions. So many Catholic priests have converted to Orthodoxy because they fell in love with the Orthodox faith and have been warmly embraced. As far as the anti-Semitism angle Sozhennitsyn's mother in law was Jewish.
Solzhenitsyn's books gave so many people who died in Soviet labor camps a voice including my own grandfather. Thank you, Mr. Solzhenitsyn.
