In my close to 50 years of life there have been only two books I had to stop reading at points, this and and RFKs the Real Antony Fauci because of rage building up, outstanding book book, but will eat at your Soul....tough read, but a very important one...take it in small doses.

I started reading this recently because history repeats itself, and it's good to be warned. And... I had to stop because it was too much.

It was posted on SD at least four times since 2022. Whatever you may think of the author himself, it's a great book and a must-read.

"Hastiness and superficiality are the psychic diseases of the twentieth century, and more than anywhere else this disease is reflected in the press." Man was a prophet.

Just finished all the book earlier this year, and it's a massive and eye opening experience. Very brutal, but also very thoughtful and filled with compassion and kindness, as well as with horrors and death. Must read

"At what exact point, then, should one resist? When one's belt is taken away? When one is ordered to face into a corner? When one crosses the threshold of one's home?..."

"And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand?...The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst; the cursed machine would have ground to a halt!"


-- Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, The Gulag Archipelago, 1918-1956, p. 13 and footnote 5.

FYI, Soljenitsyn is literally lie teller in Russian, and to add to the injury he is professional fairy taler by profession. Book is full of fairy tales from prisoners without any sources listed...

The book is literally collection of fairytales… and more likely than not, most of them was invented by writer himself

In for one. I blame Jordan Peterson for this.
