I doubt that works of Solzhenitsyn has any value as a literature. He was a tool of political propaganda against USSR. There're numerous lies and exaggerations in his books. In 20-50 years everybody will forget him for good.
- billfruit 8y agoThere are books he wrote like August 1914, which isn't about the Soviet Union. I think though he ended up criticizing USSR, he also criticized the west as well.
- woodandsteel 8y agoI disagree. The USSR was as bad as it he said it was. That said, I strongly reject Solzhenitsyn's religious and political philosophy.
- PeterisP 8y agoOne Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich is a quite good novel even if you'd treat it as total fiction.
