On August 4th of this year, just two weeks ago, Alexander Solzhenitsyn died. Who was Alexander Solzhenitsyn? After establishing himself as one of the preeminent critics of Stalin and Soviet Communism, he was stripped of his Russian citizenship and forced to emigrate from his country in the 1970’s. He chose to come to America where we wanted to hear the outraged voice of a dissident itemize the crimes of Marxist totalitarianism. Instead he told America what it did not want to hear. In 1979 he outlined his vision and fears in his famous Harvard Speech. And from that point on, for all practical purposes, he was shunned by the effete and stupefied West. Alexander Solzhenitsyn told us what we did not want to hear—like all prophets. When he died, the silence was deafening. The host himself did not even hear of his death until ten days afterward. Shame on us. Shame on me.
