A great disaster had befallen Russia: Men have forgotten God; that's why all this has happened.

You must understand, the leading Bolsheviks who took over Russia were not Russians. They hated Russians. They hated Christians. Driven by ethnic hatred they tortured and slaughtered millions of Russians without a shred of human remorse. It cannot be overstated. Bolshevism committed the greatest human slaughter of all time. The fact that most of the world is ignorant and uncaring about this enormous crime is proof that the global media is in the hands of the perpetrators.

Of course, my views developed in the course of time. But I have always believed in what I did and never acted against my conscience.

It is the artist who realizes that there is a supreme force above him and works gladly away as a small apprentice under God's heaven.

Friends! Let us try to help if we are worth anything at all!

The task must be to banish from mankind's thought the idea that anybody has the right to use force against righteousness, against justice, against mutual agreements.

I dedicate this to all those who did not live to tell it. And may they please forgive me for not having seen it all nor remembered it all, for not having divined all of it - from The Gulag Archipelago
