Saying Aleksandr Isayevich Solzhenitsyn is a "good guy" is kind of
like saying Edison was "kind of clever" or Einstein was "sort of
smart".

A remarkable man of seemingly infinite courage to speak truth to
power, he told the awful story of Soviet-era gulags and the horror
that was Stalin's Russia, even though doing so was incredibly
dangerous.

He was also a Renaissance Man, who was as comfortable with advanced
mathematics as philosophy or writing literature.

No, calling this man anything less than a hero is underestimating his
legacy. Surely he inspired courage in others to help overthrow the
rotting Soviet system. (History shows Communism and Fascism, far left
and far right, always ultimately fail under their own bureaucracy and
corruption, however.)

May he rest in peace. I am glad he lived long enough to see the end
of Russian totalitarianism and long enough to be appreciated in his
own land.

Let's hope, where Russia is drifting in that direction at times, it
will never, ever drift so far left or right as to destroy freedom.
