Excerpts From Solzhenitsyn's Article on Soviets

We have to make a choice once and for all: between the empire, killing, in the first place, ourselves, and the spiritual and physical salvation of our people. [...] No road for the people for the most urgent things will ever be open [unless the government] completely gives up control over us or any aspect of our lives [...] it has led the country into an abyss and it does not know the way out. . . (p. 4)
