	Reason: Traditional Prejudices: The anti-Semitism of Alexander Solzhenitsyn
		Solzhenitsyn, author of The Gulag Archipelago, was once a revered symbol of moral resistance to the Soviet state.
		Solzhenitsyn asserts that "the population of Russia, as a whole, regarded the new [revolutionary] terror as a Jewish terror" -- and seeks, if not to validate, then at least to excuse this perception.
		On other occasions, though, Solzhenitsyn is not averse to exact numbers: He points out, for example, that six of the 12 Cheka investigators in the "department for the suppression of counter-revolution" were Jewish.

		In "Alexander Solzhenitsyn: A Century in His Life," Thomas painstakingly and sensitively conveys the horrors and hardships of the writer "who helped to bring down the greatest tyranny the world has seen, besides educating the West to its full horror.
		In the West we read primarily Solzhenitsyn's novels, "One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich," "The First Circle" and "The Cancer Ward." It could well be that his reputation will rest primarily upon his volumes of "The Gulag Archipelago," a "literary investigation" into the prisoners in the slave labor camps.
		Solzhenitsyn returned to Russia from exile in 1994 and despite a triumphal train trip and a short-lived television show, it seemed that "He was no one's hero anymore.

	The Last Prophet by Ian Hunter (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		Solzhenitsyn erupted into public attention during the brief Soviet thaw of 1962 when the authorities unexpectedly allowed publication of his short masterpiece One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich, the story, drawn from his own experience, of a political prisoner in a forced labor camp.
		What Solzhenitsyn’s many Western admirers would come to understand only a decade later was that he was as implacable a critic of the unbridled consumerism of the capitalist West as he was of the repressive totalitarianism of the Communist East.
		One American commentator called Solzhenitsyn "a freak, a monarchist, an anti-Semite, a crank, a has-been not a hero." From this moment on, it was no longer possible for Western liberals to consider Solzhenitsyn one of their own.

		In the United States, Solzhenitsyn did not always find a sympathetic audience for his ideas, which were revealed in a series of public addresses and stemmed from his conviction that Soviet Communism was America's perpetual enemy and the source of great suffering in Russia.
		Solzhenitsyn faced prison and the threat of a mean death with immense moral courage.

	FT August/September 2004: Opinion (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		Solzhenitsyn is a liberal in the sense that he is acutely aware of the myriad moral and cultural prerequisites of human liberty.
		Solzhenitsyn takes aim at reactionaries who ignore the inexorability of human “progress,” at revolutionaries who take nihilistic delight in destroying the existing order, and at “false liberals” who refuse to explore prudently the necessarily difficult relations between order and liberty, progress and tradition.
		Solzhenitsyn is, in truth, a conservative liberal who wants to temper the one-sided modern preoccupation with individual freedom with a salutary reminder of the moral ends that ought to inform responsible human choice.

		Alexander Solzhenitsyn, who first exposed the horrors of the Stalinist gulag, is now attempting to tackle one of the most sensitive topics of his writing career - the role of the Jews in the Bolshevik revolution and Soviet purges.
		In his latest book Solzhenitsyn, 84, deals with one of the last taboos of the communist revolution: that Jews were as much perpetrators of the repression as its victims.
		Solzhenitsyn argues that some Jewish satire of the revolutionary period "consciously or unconsciously descends on the Russians" as being behind the genocide.
