Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
A great number of publications and movies on the history of the 20th century - albeit of uneven quality - are evidence of a growing demand. Quite recently, the state-owned TV channel 'Russia' aired a series based on Varlam Shalamov's works, showing the terrible, cruel truth about Stalin's camps. It was not watered down.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
The Universe has as many different centers as there are living beings in it.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
But what can you say in a letter?
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
Cracks make caves collapse.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
And the over-all fact that you are a frail vessel full of errors.
