I'm sorry to use Solzhenitsyn's quotes as a serious source of information? I can remind you that he was sent to prison absolutely legally. Solzhenitsyn's crimes are obvious and for them he would have received a sentence in any civilized country in the world. As an officer of the Red Army, he collected the literature of the Nazis of the Third Reich. He wrote letters to his friends, where he praised Hitler in every possible way and called for the establishment of Nazism. Moreover, such letters can be considered a provocation. It is clear that letters from the front are subject to special censorship. The package may contain similar literature. You can send ammunition, grenades, weapons. However, to send such letters to friends, to expose them to a criminal case.
Do you think that even in 2021, if you actively advocate for Nazism, you will not be charged? Now in 2021 and in your country?
Further in the text in general nonsense! How can we talk about a third of Leningrad, which was allegedly put in prison? The population of Leningrad before the siege and famine that the Nazis staged in 1941 3,200,000 people! A third of the population is 1,000,000 prisoners!!!
On January 1, 1941, there were 2,400,422 prisoners in the entire USSR with its population of 195,000,000 people. Is it too much or too little?
This is only just over 1% of the population. You need to understand that in any society there is a criminal element: murderers, thieves, robbers, rapists, embezzlers.
For example, in the USSR there was such a brilliant scientist Korolev. He did a lot for space exploration. However, as a young scientist and receiving grants for rocket research, some of the money was spent on restaurants, women and buying expensive clothes. For this behavior, he received a prison sentence. After completing the punishment, he was hired. Have made discoveries. He had many bonuses and a very high salary.
Unfortunately, even if the person is a genius! He may be weak to gold.
Take Makhno. During his time, people were shot more than once for looting. Those who robbed ordinary villagers. People from the army of Father Makhno. Sometimes even beliefs are weaker than greed.
Who were the citizens of the USSR supposed to resist? Your will and your power? What for? It is their will, their freedom, and their interests.
Further, Solzhenitsyn's writings arouse only contempt. Read the Gulag Archipelago, where he writes in the first chapter that he was a snitch. It was he who framed people who trusted him and turned them in to the operatives. In his own words, in his own book. Prisoners, even from a criminal, as in any country in the world, have their own code of honor. It was considered wrong for them to communicate with Solzhenitsyn. Therefore, all his stories in his own words in the book are camp stories.
Such things happen even in children's recreation camps. Allegedly, a boy went, and then a ghost. It's just that Alexander has more black stories, given the criminal mentality.
And they have nothing to do with the truth. They didn't want to talk to him. Therefore, he could hear nothing but stories. No one gave him any serious information. To the prisoners, he was the enemy.
And his calls to the US authorities to strike the USSR with nuclear weapons ... to
call for the genocide of his people. It's not even a comment.
