Formerly titled "Ep 13 - A Bitter Taste of the Cold War - Alexander Solzhenitsyn". A social critic in a regime that actively persecuted dissenters, Alexander Solzhenitsyn (also in picture) grappled with Death on occasions almost too numerous to count, a man who, like many others, was reduced to mere scum by the Communist Regime of the USSR, but who kept a spirit of a fighter, and a writer while imprisoned. Later, he received a Nobel Prize for several volumes chronicling the 200 or more interviews he had with his fellow prisoners as well as his own experiences, what he called "The Gulag Archipelago", the most profound text on why communism should never be put to action.
