Alexander Slozhenitsyn, 1918-2008.
On late the 3rd of August 2008, Alexander Solzhenitsyn, the great Soviet writer, passed away aged 89 of heart failure.He was unarguably the greatest writer that ever was; the conscience of Russia, and indeed the world.
Born a year after the Russian Revolution, he has experienced so much and seen so much change in his motherland.Solzhenitsyn courageously chronicled the horrors of Soviet gulags and the hypocrisy of the USSR.An devout Communist, he was unusually a strong Christian.
While I do not believe in idolizing great men, I still regard Solzhenitsyn as someone to be admired.
