Solzhenitsyn breaks last taboo of the revolution. Nobel laureate under fire for new book on the role of Jews in Soviet era repression.

From the Guardian (UK) by Nick Paton Walsh in Moscow

Commentary by Dr. David Duke on Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn

Here are some excerpts from an article in the Guardian (UK), January 25, 2003. Since the last few articles I have posted have dealt with the Jewish role in the Bolshevik revolution and the accompanying terror and genocide in the Soviet Union, I wanted to share with you some of Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn’s comments. Few men have the high moral standing of this world-wide admired Nobel Prize winner. He wrote the most famous and authoritative books on the Soviet Gulag System, Gulag Archipelago I, II, & III.

A couple of years ago he wrote a book called Together for Two Hundred Years about the Jewish experience in Russia. It included mention of the Jewish role in the Bolshevik terror.

The Guardian continues:

Alexander Solzhenitsyn, who first exposed the horrors of the Stalinist gulag, is now attempting to tackle one of the most sensitive topics of his writing career - the role of the Jews in the Bolshevik revolution and Soviet purges. In his latest book Solzhenitsyn, 84, deals with one of the last taboos of the communist revolution: that Jews were as much perpetrators of the repression as its victims… Two Hundred Years Together - a reference to the 1772 partial annexation of Poland and Russia which greatly increased the Russian Jewish population - contains three chapters discussing the Jewish role in the revolutionary genocide and secret police purges of Soviet Russia.

He also correctly states that the murderous actions of the Kiev Cheka [secret police] cannot be explained only by the fact that two thirds of them were Jews: (more…)
