However, he was dead right about the atrocities of the Communist system, which you clearly wish weren't true. The entire civilized world owes him a great debt of gratitude for exposing the evils of the Soviet prison system.

While the world widely admired his courage in exposing the atrocities of the Soviet prison camps, many, too, frowned on the ardent nationalism he espoused in his later years. His warm ties with former Russian President Putin, a retired KGB officer, drove a wedge with many of his fellow Soviet-era dissidents.

The man believes there is more to the world than a big ball of world government interconnected corporate and bureaucratic led consumerism. He thinks it is grave danger and anti ethical and inimical to the human spirit and soul. He sees danger there like he experienced. He believes the decline of religion, family, community, towns and nations led to what he suffered and has the whole world on a bad path. The left are playing the same game with him that they did with our last election and trying to paint him as some extremist. There is absolutely nothing wrong with being a nationalist.
This critique of him is not so much a critique but the left trying to discount his message. It is not new he has been attacked since the book came out. He is not a fan of our or Russia and Europe's current systems and never was as he sees the left leaning policies and philosophies leading to just what he escaped.
You and the article act like this is something new but was known in 1978 and the left did not like it then anymore than they do now. Read the below and you can see why he is hated by the one worlders on the left

Please give some context before you l post an article that tries to besmirch such a wonderful thinker, writer and fighter for human rights and freedom.
Interesting, how the author keeps wailing about the atrocities of Russian soviet regime that... Russians had created.
Not a hint of empathy from Solzhenitsyn towards Lithuanians, Ukrainians, Jews, Chechens or Poles who went through that meat grinder organized by Russians in 1920-30's and later after WW2. Those nations were "loose change" to Russian Bolsheviks.
The same people that took down Russia in 1917 are still at it.
