Live Not by Lies by Aleksander Solcenin

The title of your new book comes from an essay by alexander solsen itson, who's the famous soviet dissident. Solcenin sent a message to his followers in russia saying essentially that we don't have the power to change this totalitarian regime. But one thing we can do is refuse to live by the lies they expect us to order to uphold the regime. If you are asked to sign something that you know is false, don't do it. And as long as we're willing to suffer, he said, suffer the cost of living in truth, then we can show other people that it is possible to dissent and not live by lies.
