“All you freedom-loving "left-wing" thinkers in the West! You left laborites! You progressive American, German, and French students! As far as you are concerned, none of this amounts too much. As far as you are concerned, this whole book of mine is a waste of effort. You may suddenly understand it all someday--but only when you yourselves hear "hands behind your backs there!" and step ashore on our Archipelago.” — Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
