...there is the larger, guilt-laden problem of explaining to oneself how this could have happened in a revolutionary state created to end, in theory, the inhumanity of man to man. For this Russia, Solzhenitsyn's novels are both painful and healing. They expose every layer of Stalinist repression. And they are addressed, above all, to Russia and her people. Solzhenitsyn's world is one of almost private Russian concern and grief, which no Westerner may lightly enter or vulgarize in glib anti-Communist terms. Those who have not been through the agonies of the camps, the shocks of alternating...

...Banish Kapitalizm. Solzhenitsyn is a rare master of the Russian language ?not the debased, impenetrably formula-ridden Russian produced by two decades of Stalinist newspapers, schoolbooks and speeches, but the rich mother Russian that calls on all the ancient, all the regional, and all the poetic

Interior Minister Josef Pavel, himself a purge victim in 1951, revealed that the police had tried to extract...

...ablest professors, artists, writers and journalists fled to freedom in the West. Gradually, inexorably, the little country that for eight months gave promise of showing Communism the way into the modern world-and for eight days dared defy its oppressors-slipped back into the dark age of a Stalinist-style police state...

...entire industry, including even small artisans' shops, collectivized all farms, and subjected the people to a withering succession of arrests, show trials and executions of "Titoists" and "traitors." Fittingly, Gottwald caught a chill at Stalin's funeral in 1953 and died a few months later. An almost equally unbending Stalinist took his place: Antonin Novotny, who had been Communist boss of Prague. As the slight winds of liberalism blew throughout the East bloc following Khrushchev's 1956 denunciation of Stalin, Novotny tried his best to ward them off. Even so, the pressure for change built up. Art, especially literature...
