It
was August 3, 2008 when the “Patriarch” of anti-communism,
Alexandr Solzhenitsyn, died. The writings of Solzhenitsyn became a
major source of anti-Soviet hysteria and blatant slanders
against the first socialist state. Even today, Solzhenitsyn's major
work “The Gulag Archipelago” is, more or less, regarded as the
anti-communist “bible” of the world's apologists of capitalism
and anti-soviet propaganda.
The supposed “honest” testimonies of
Solzhenitsyn- which he was never able to prove- were used in the
building of an anti-stalinist, anti-communist obsession which the
West had so much need to base upon, especially after the end of WW2.
However,
who was really this nobel prize-winning Russian and how much
credibility do his anti-soviet fairy tales contain?
