In today’s episode, we are joined by guest Ryan Reese to discuss the Nobel Prize winning literature piece, The Gulag Archipelago Vol. 1, by Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn. Excerpts from the book are required reading in Russia as a direct challenge to Soviet era ideology. The book sold tens of millions of copies world wide and continues to be a powerful literary-historical record of the prison and labor camps that opened in 1917 under Vladimir Lenin and vastly expanded under Joseph Stalin’s reign from 1924 to 1953. We discuss highlights from the book, ethical dilemmas, modern events of how these conditions appear to be repeating themselves, and how to conduct oneself to prevent these atrocities from reoccurring.
