...secret, wrote The Gulag Archipelago, revealing for the first time the existence of this chain ("archipelago") of death mills. The moment the manuscript of the book's first volume was smuggled out of Russia and published in France in 1973, it was as if a stake had been driven through the heart of Marxism. It was only a matter of time before the body and the tentacles rotted away, a process that became obvious on Nov. 9, 1989, the day the Berlin Wall came down.
