There's a lot of ideaologues who spout this guy's belief but always ignore that one special book.
Makes me think.
I read about half of The Gulag Archipelago before I got busy. Fascinating combination of history and literature, however embellished it might be. I'd like to finish it some day. It was good so far to get some background sense of the matter within which to later fit in more detailed analyses.
No opinion on his contribution to the collapse. I imagine it was popular enough to have some probably small impact in shifting public perception, but that's not a part of the collapse that I've been interested in looking in to.
>Did you read his work?
I read all 3 volumes of the Gulag Archipelago and part of 200 Years Together. I'm generally a fan of his work and I think most fans of his don't really have a deep understanding of him.
>Do you think that he contributed to the collapse of the USSR?
Less than you think. By the 1980s he was ignored by Americans who were tired of his sermons and the KGB stopped harassing him because he was so marginalized. Inside the Soviet Union it might have been a different story.
Looks like Michael Savage
what the fuck is a snozlnasnayns
name of special b00k?
200 Years Together. A history of the Jews in Russia that was never professionally translated into English because of (((reasons))).
Two Hundred Years Together
He names the jew
I read the Gulag Archipelago in high school, but from what I understand he made a lot of it up. He definitely contributed to the collapse of the USSR though.
damn so i can never read it :(
He traveled to Spain after Franco's death and urged them not to abandon Fascism. He supported US imperialism in their war of aggression against the Vietnamese people. He urged Portugal to hold on to it's colonies in Africa. This man is a Czarist White Guard revanchist and Fascist sympathizer. Also much of his work is fiction and not taken seriously by actual historians, not to mention heavily biased against Jews.
I linked to a translation. It wasn't done by pros, but it was done.
>never
Did you even click the link you utter mongoloid?
the collapse of the ussr was from criminals being allowed to take over every government throughout history, including the ussr.
there is no government that has avoided or blocked criminals from taking over, ever.
although translated into many languages, his words do not translate well, becoming an impenetrable fog of mumbling philosophical pronouncements that only impress idiots with similar tendencies to think words have deep magical meaning.
claptrap comes close to describing his contribution to the world.
people with common sense and a rational mind do not need words from some crackpot who started out as a pompous cult leader with a worldview as small as a backwoods russian village but a vocabulary bigger than his ability to express himself clearly.
this is why he has a book almost no one has ever read except to use it for propaganda during the cold war ....and still no one read it then or now unless required by some idiot professor who loves complicated claptrap, cringeworthy poetry, and every stupid book, the more complicated the better.
you waste time on this guy then and now...why?
are you retarded as fuck or what
Did you read the Kolyma tales by Shalamov?
Learn Russian then
I'll do that if I want to get indicted.
Two Hundred Years Together doesn't even really name the jew. At least not in the way pol thinks it does. He basically says that both jews and gentiles were responsible for the crimes of the Soviets and that they should come together to accept that responsibility to heal and move on.
This above all else should be a big redpill. Because this message of reconciliation is completely rejected and all that is given are shouts of oy vey and antisemitism. Even if the gentile is willing to meet halfway the Jew will refuse and shamelessly play the victim. They will never own up to any crimes committed and insist they are completely innocent while the dumb goyim are responsible for all the evils of the world. Always remember this.
Foreigners have think tanks, we have autistic prophets with no knowledge of anything. Win!
The claims in of the holocaust are dubious.
The claims in the Gulag Archipelago are incredibly believable. The horrors of the Soviet Union are unmatched.
Read / Listen this to book to fully red-pill yourself on communism.
Indeed...very enlightening to say the least.
Hitler was right again.
Ahhh…*crank*... Now MAOISM, that was communism!
What deeper understanding are most readers missing out on?
based ruski
That wasn't REAL communism!!!
The Jews are unbeatable when it comes to racism.
Yes and yes. We should promote him more, he did a great effort in dispelling the whole "Muh Marxism is so woke" meme among Western intellectuals in the 1970s.
Read his jew book. Pretty based.
Confirmed /ourguy/. Got it.
>>"Also much of his work is fiction and not taken seriously by actual historians"
Proof
GO
He goes into philosophical attacks upon dialectical materialism and endorses collectivism to resist tyranny. It's more than USSR bad or individualism good.
Memories are generational.
Our generation did not get the message, and they therefore fell for the Marxism meme.
WTF, I love Solshenizyn now!
>dialectical materialism
Never loved this soviet newspeak
rabl = rabbi or rebel?
Imagine going to a university to pay to learn how to translate things in to newspeak, but not even the other way around.
Seems like the only job opportunities would be to teach more people how to do it.
I did read it, but I don't think he contributed to the collapse.
The collapse was inevitable when the corrupt parts of the USSR started to obstruct and try to take over.
Yeltsin defused the situation because it would have hurt him badly too.
It's not Newspeek. It's hegelian dialectics. Marx, Engels, Bruno Bauer and so forth became left hegialian dialecticists and dialectic materialists, Stirner is of the right, I think. National Socialism is essentially Right-wing Hegel plus Social Darwinism. Which is why the Soviets usually referred to NS as an Aberration of Marxist Theory. Not too far off actually. If you take out the devaluation
Wasnt half the shit in the Gulag Archipelago made up?
Yeltsin was a drunken, retarded, incompetent, foolish puppet of Jewish Oligarchs
The old elites didn't want to reform and lose influence over, say, India. India changed it course in the early 90s (and has developed greatly since then).
Some of the most influential figures in the Yeltsin administration were barely 30 yo.
You mean the critique that the Soviets said about the book that made them look bad? Have a read.
30,000,000 people didn't die of natural causes...
The formulation of the Soviet version of dialectical and historical materialism (such as in Stalin's book Dialectical and Historical Materialism) in the 1930s by Joseph Stalin and his associates, became the "official" Soviet interpretation of Marxism. It was codified and popularized in textbooks which were required reading in the Soviet Union as well as in some Eastern European countries. It was exported to China as the "official" interpretation of Marxism.
>Holocaust obviously unbelievable bullshit
>Gulag Archipelago totally believable
....were you born retarded, or did you have to work at it? I bet you fucking loved Holodomor too.
No, Americans contributed to the collapse of USSR
I speak French, so I might be able to post a translation at some point for Jow Forums
>Solzhenitsyn
I have promoted Solzhenitsyn to fellow Americans around 10 years now.

Bullshit is easy to spot.
A good portion of the book are mundane anecdotes of prison life as a Zek -- it is far too detailed to be a fabrication.
The traces left of the events are long gone, so the stories are unlikely to be verified, but they do corroborate similarly with other facts as well. Almost 70 years later, it is still relevant in its context.
interesting
St. mel bless you
The most interesting. that Solzhenitsyn respected Putin as a politician. By the way, this news has split our society, many consider Solzhenitsyn a traitor.
To be fair some of it seemed like bullshit. I had a hard time believing the story of the mechanic who thought he was the emperor because some guy stopped by his home and told him so. I think he spiced it up a bit to make it more entertaining
Truly the greatest mystery of our time.
You can listen to the audio book on youtube
nah I dont have feeling for kikes, you on the other hand feel fear every day. You know the last day of the kikes is coming fast.
Only with a good enough connection to the internet, equipment, a power source, and enough self-hatred to listen to something long with youtube's interface bit by bit.
Besides, for something like that it takes a little more attention then you might spare while you're doing other things, and now you can't go back just by flicking your eyes or decide you want to go back to this page or that one re-read a part, so might as well just use a book.
You are well on your way back to the new soviet union. clear as day after your "event" in Königsberg against Kant. I asume Putin era will be over soon and you will start a new cold war with china at your side. then again it was always on and Murica never dropped it
>many consider Solzhenitsyn a traitor.
Must be Turkic Khazars
In principle, such an opinion is shared by the etatists and the Soviet Noviops.
...
It is a collection of stories from the recollection of hundreds of people after all. Definitely more believable than the holohoax.
Yes.
Yes.
I like this guy.
It's a matter of record that he spent time in the Gulags of the U.S.S.R., so really that's not actually surprising that he would have anecdotes from that time. thing is, his numbers (60 million, last I checked) are just ridiculously stupid, (considering that Russia lost 22 million in their war against the nazi's, and had about 130 million. He proposes that Stalin gulag'd almost half of fucking Russia) as is his account of 'the great terror', considering it's also a matter of record that the vast majority of people arrested during the Moscow trials were actually top officials, who were officially accused of treason. Further compounding this is that A.) census data shows no proof of mass deaths that number anywhere near 10 million after WW2 in the U.S.S.R., and B.) the 'great terror' lasted a very short amount of time (all told, about 2-3 years). and C.) the Gulags during peace time had a death rate of about 3-5% and 15-ish% during WW2. Hardly the unimaginable hellscape it would have had to have been in order for the Gulag Archipelago to have any merit.
Now if you want an actual hellscape of a prison, look no further than French Guianna from around the same time period.
True, I just listen to it while at work because I have that opportunity. I'll listen to an audiobook 2 or more times in a row because I had to turn it out at one point.
I've listened to a part of the Gulag Archipelago, and all I can say Russbros, is sorry. I had no idea it was that bad.
Savage is a Slavo-Jew. Why is it a surprise?
>I listened to
>I listened to
>I listened to
Do Americans unironically consume audiobooks? A wild guess, while driving?
His numbers may be inaccurate, but it's not hard to believe that Kolyma and Magadan were brutal.
French Guiana was also brutal though. That's true. It's sort of forgotten because it's a little department on the corner of the continent.
No more than most prisons of the age. 1900's was not the time you wanted to get sent to prison friend. Regardless of what country you were in.
I don’t get it russbro, I would love to read it in the original language if I knew it.
I find time to read all the time, you just have to put down stupid video games or other shit. My pal always does Audio books and I hate it.
The modern regime is not the USSR, but closer to Tsarist Russia. The favorite philosopher of Putin, Ivan Ilyin, was a supporter of the white movement and defended fascism.
Where the fuck does this meme come from?

Paper books are for fags that want to 'LOOKATME'
don`t be so harsh !
our friends are learning how to spell.
It's reasonably popular while jogging or driving or something. Nice alternative to music or podcasts or whatever. It really does pass the time on a long drive to get lost in a story or interesting lecture or something.
>etatists and the Soviet Noviops
I do not know of them. Will need to research more.
what is this new fucking faux meme?
what am i asked to believe?
Get lost shill
Yes and yes. I don't have the time to sit down and consume a 1000 page tome.
The method of consumption doesn't matter anyway.
>a space between the last word and the exclamation point
>a lack of capitalization
Don't worry, Selim. You're getting there. Almost, but not quite.
If I download this to read will it back up my kindle?
piss off, you dumb piece of shit, men are talking here, suck your mom`s tits, you dumb fucker.
1000 pages is a lot to take in all at once. I find it's good to break it up a little to provide time to mull it over as long as you don't fragment it into losing continuity.
I did a 750 page book reading it while I ate lunch each day at work and it done in, I don't know the time it takes to change from one season to the next. It was book of facts and evidence, though, so there's not as much continuity to have to worry about beyond the basic structure of the arguments and their presentation.

>>Currently working through Gulag Archipelago (IT'S FUCKING LONG)
Previously finished Atlas Shrugged... 70 hours. Listened to the whole thing in about a month and a half.
>Do you think that he contributed to the collapse of the USSR?
No, and I wouldn't think he would've wanted what happened in the end (I'm talking about the 90's). URSS collapse was a fucking disgrace for the world, an unipolar world is a nightmare for everyone, including America, because it led to all the current degeneracy we rant in this board.
He knew what the fuck was going on.
Max Warburg was quote: likewise involved in the safe passage of Trotsky to Russia. A U.S. State Department file, ‘Bolshevism and Judaism’, dated 13 November 1918, asserted that there could be no doubt that the ‘Jewish Firm’ Kuhn, Loeb & Company and its partners ‘started and engineered’ the revolution in Russia. The report added that Max Warburg had also financed Trotsky, and that Aschberg and Nya Banken were involved.
May 6, 1875, is the day Jacob Schiff, a 28-year-old investment banker at Kuhn, Loeb & Co., married the boss’ daughter, Therese Loeb, in Manhattan...The groom had been born on January 10, 1847, in Frankfurt am Main, Germany, into a prominent family that traced its presence in the city back 500 years. (Actually, Jacob Schiff could trace his lineage back to no less than King Solomon.) Many of his ancestors were rabbis, but his father was a financial broker for the Rothschilds.
haaretz.com
State Department report 861.00/5339 (cant find online but mentioned in a wikileaks drop aswell wikileaks.org
The report goes on to assert that there can be no doubt that the Russian Revolution was started and engineered by this group and that in April 1917.
Jacob Schiff
Kuhn, Loeb & Company
Felix Warburg
Otto H. Kahn
Mortimer L. Schiff
Jerome J. Hanauer
Guggenheim
Max Breitung
Isaac Seligman
Jacob Schiff in fact made a public announcement and it was due to his financial influence that the Russian revolution was successfully accomplished and in the Spring 1917 Jacob Schiff started to finance Trotsky, a Jew, for the purpose of accomplishing a social revolution in Russia.

It's good, though isn't it? I'm usually stuck reading dry, academic stuff, so it was a real treat to have the facts presented by way of slice of life stories.
You weren't alive then, so fuck off with your theories.
>>because it led to all the current degeneracy we rant in this board.
This.
There was no more war to prepare for -- no more big enemy. The fighting spirit stayed strong and turned inwards.
It was fantastic, although there are a LOT of characters to remember.
Rand could have reduced the book to Galts radio speech and the story the stowaway's told Dagney.
Context is everything however; a parallel world where consequences are played out.
