The Nobel Laureate's seminal essay, first published in Komsomolskalya Pravda, gives his thoughts on the political and economic choices facing Russia in the post-Communist era, from the role of the non-Slavic republics to the KGB's attempts to justify its further grip on the country.
How Do you Rebuild a Country Ravaged by Atheism/Marxism?
| Customer Rating: | | Solshenitzyn's "Rebuilding Russia" is a look past tradition and modern paganist values into the "how-to" of starting a nation/civilization from scratch. His analysis of the paralysis that afflicts modern Russian in every area is brilliant and his solutions apply not to just Russia but any nation that is experiencing broad social decline, which would include nearly every nation in the West. He starts with the correct premise that government is incapable of building any enduring civilization and, therefore, social structure always precedes political structure with the former a more fundamental entity. He also points out that any who cave-in to fleshly appetites will never rise from being mere beasts. Those who do this choose anarchy instead of order and peace. However, it has generally brought a mere "ho-hum" from the great in US society because Solshenitzyn starts from Judeo/Christian theism - an abomination to most here. He correctly sees that the battle for civilization has been lost in the United States because our nation has plunged into the tide of neo-paganism and has abandoned the foundations for a just and peaceful society. It is insufficient to save the environment, for example, if basic social order is collapsing, and in the end such a cause will merely be a stepping stone to tyranny. An excellent book that should be a best seller but most don't want to hear what Solshenitzyn has to say. |
