Discussing Volume I Of "The Gulag Archipelago" By Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
Manage episode 417566585 series 3450018
In this episode of Canonball we discuss Volume I of "The Gulag Archipelago" by Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, which was published in 1973.
One correction: Since recording this I have found reports that Solzhenitsyn did apply for U.S. citizenship in 1985. I cannot see that he ever received it, though his wife and children did.
