Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
You took my freedom away a long time ago and you can't give it back because you haven't got it yourself.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn

Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
Just as King Midas turned everything to gold, Stalin turned everything to mediocrity.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
There can be no acceptable future without an honest analysis of the past.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
The solemn pledge to abstain from telling the truth was called socialist realism.
