The Solzhenitsyn Files

Solzhenitsyn ran afoul of the authorities because he was something that the regime didn't count on. Unlike a lot of the intellectual class who wanted, let's say, favors, apartments and awards, Solzhenitsyn was after the truth. He believed in a different moral universe opposed to the Soviet regime. They bundled him onto a plane and deported him to the West, where he lived the next 20 years of his life.
