Alexander Solzhenitsyn, the famous exile from the Soviet Union, is not only one of the most famous writers living in the world today, he is also the foremost symbol of resistance to oppression in the Communist homeland. This fascinating book deals with a hitherto unsuspected dimension of Solzhenitsyn the man, his apparently deep and personal Christian faith. It includes as a chapter the first publication in English of Solzhenitsyn's long and astonishing letter to the Third Council of the Russian Church Abroad in which the great Russian writer passionately indicts the Communist parties for their brutal persecution of Christians. Dr. Nielsen, a man with personal ties and experiences in the Eastern European countries heavily influenced by Solzhenitsyn's views, has examined Solzhenitsyn's life, writings, and statements in documented detail. He presents a portrait of the great Russian which shows the powerful and surprising influence of Solzhenitsyn's own personal and unique faith. This is not the usual religious portrait; the circumstances of Solzhenitsyn's life, his imprisonment and the conditions under which he has lived have combined to forge in an agonized crucible a terribly human understanding of the Will of God. Reading this account, one can understand Solzhenitsyn's implacable resistance to oppression, his rnoving compassion, his poignant love for his homeland. This is not the Russia of the shining Sputniks or the Red Square parades; it is the somber but heroic homeland of the ones who have lost everything except the ultimate inner source of strength~in Solzhenitsyn's case, God. Late in 1974, Alexander Solzhenitsyn wrote a long and moving letter to the Russian Emigre Church first printed in Russian in the daily newspaper Novae Russkoe Slovo. This damning indictment of the persecution of the Church in Russia is the longest and one of the most complete statements Solzhenitsyn has made on specifically religious matters.
