Alexander Solzhenitsyn (1918-2008)

Alexander Solzhenitsyn, the Russian Nobel laureate author who demonstrated that truth is to tyrants as penicillin is to syphilis, has passed on at the age of 89.

Rest well, sir.

It took guts to look that monster (USSR) in the eye. Solzhenitsyn had guts.

Requiescat in pace.
