I WAS READING THE DISSIDENT A. SOLJENITSYNE, EX-SOVIETIC OFFICER, AT SECONDARY SCHOOL BEFORE HE BECAME 'POLITICALLY CORRECT' IN FRANCE (ONLY A FEW YEARS AGO).
I HAVE FORGOTTEN EVERYTHING NOW ABOUT SOLJENITSYNE LONG BORING RELATIONS (HE WAS AN INGENEER) WHICH MADE HIM FAMOUS. EXCEPT THAT S. DO ADMIT HONESTLY THAT HE THANKFULLY TO THE GOULAG SAW THE BACK OF HIS WIFE.
THEN, HE MAY BE WOULD HAVE NEVER THOUGHT TO BECOME A WRITER WITHOUT THIS MONACAL LIFE IN THE GOULAG. EVEN IF A FORMER FRIEND OF SOLJENITSYNE CALLED DIMITRI PANINE WROTE A BOOK ESPECIALLY TO EXPLAIN THAT SOLJENITSYNE WAS A BAD INGENEER IN FACT.
AS GENIOUS IN HIGH-TECH, SOLJENITSYNE, PANINE AND THEIR FELLOWS WERE BENEFITING OF SOFTER LIFE CONDITIONS. IT IS THE PROOF THAT SOVIET UNION WAS NOT SO COMMUNIST AS IT IS SAID USUALLY.
IT IS MORE USEFUL TO READ TCHERNYCHEVSKI.
