Certainly the sundry problems and dangers in modern Russia all relate to Solzhenitsyn in some way, as they concern him. One of the things that intrigues me...

I too am dismayed by the negative tone and the assumption that Solzhenitsyn must be senile. But in the week where Putin has announced that he's going to have ...
Putin hasnıt made a decision to target European cities. Rather, he somewhat brutally highlighted a possible consequence of what he sees as a provocation on...

To Dan Mahoney's substantive comments, let me add a little note. When one has been so right so often about so much, as Solzhenitsyn has, maybe we in the West...

Does anyone know what AIS thinks of this mystery, or what he thinks of Rasputin? It has all the elements of a great movie, with the current contention between ...
I've been interested in Rasputin for some time. feeling that he was misrepresented to some degree by his political enemies. It seems his major crime was...
Ron, The influence of Rasputin has been sensationalized and overstated, but there is no doubt that his influence on the Romanovs and Russia was negative. He...
Kolya, With all due respect, I don't think that the possibility of new facts coming to light is ever exhausted. The "facts" have been protected and produced...

DanJo, There isn't a hard and fast "technical" definition of a novel as to size. A novel is a fictional work that is bigger than a short story. When does a...
