Question by ma: Remember the great author Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, who was exiled but then returned to Russia?
Did you read The Gulag Archipelago, The Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich or Invisible Allies? I’m wondering what he is thinking of this Russia/Georgia invasion and if he will leave his mother land yet again.
Your thoughts?
I discovered that he died on Aug. 3rd at the age of 89 just minutes after posting this….I guess, then, that this Q is in appreciation of his brilliant literary mind and his courage.

Yes, I knew he died of heart failure on August 3rd. He indeed had a brilliant mind but he was also relentless in fighting for the truth to be revealed, and he fought so actively against tyranny. Nothing made him back down from getting the truth out. It cost him dearly. Many say that he was instrumental in the collapse of the Soviet Union. He was by far a man who stood up straight for his convictions no matter what the cost was and no matter how many times he got knocked down in the process.. .

Yes, he passed. The invasion could have stepped up his demise.
