Yes, he was a Good guy. His magnum opus, The Gulag Archipelago, was
one of the books that opened my eyes when I was a young man.

Rest in Peace Alexander.

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.

On a related note, the English language TV channel "Russia Today" is
available for free, either via streaming over the Internet at:
http://www.russiatoday.ru

or via Galaxy 25 satellite http://www.lyngsat.com/galaxy25.html/ at
97 West longitude, carrier frequency 11966 Mhz (11.966 Ghz),
Horizontal polarization, MPEG-2 digital, video PID = 7001, audio PID
= 7002. In North America, a 76cm / 30" dish with a LINEAR LNBF is
required for good reception.

Well-produced, and obviously espousing a Russian viewpoint, it's a
good source for seeing what the leadership in Russia wants to say.
Reading between the lines is always a fun game.

I'm not sure whether satellite signals are on topic or off. They are
radio transmissions, and at a wavelength of about 2.5 centimeters, you
can definitely argue it's a "short" wave. ;P
