'Gulag Archipelago' Now Required Reading In Russia
Russia Makes Parts Of Once-banned 'The Gulag Archipelago' Now Required
Reading In Schools
(AP) A Russian news agency says parts of the once-banned book "The
Gulag Archipelago" have been declared required reading for upper-level
students in the country's schools.
The sprawling book, regarded as Alexander Solzhenitsyn's masterwork,
recounts the brutality and despair of the prison camp system set up
under Soviet dictator Josef Stalin. The book was banned in the Soviet
Union and Solzhenitsyn was forced into exile.
According to the state-run news agency RIA Novosti, the Education
Ministry on Wednesday ordered that passages from the book become
required reading in order to deepen students' understanding of
Russia's history.

The crap is the book. How AS were able to survive until so old age in
perfect health condition if conditions in GULAG were so terrible as he
wrote? A lie is it all what he wrote.

Idiot.
It is your traditional British diet to blame - too much fish and chips,
both deep fry - full of brain poisoning fats and mercury.
VM.
Many Nazi concentration camp surviviors have lived into their 90s.
Yes and why was the book banned if it was crab? Crab is not dangerous to
dictators, truth can be.
Stalin rulez. Relax if it is difficult to understand for you how
difficult is to emplose into nation(s) a respect one to another
person. Stalin is bad for them... Svines.

Stalin should have been kicked into a dog-food grinding machine...
So that you would have had sufficient protein during your embryonic
development.
It's too late now, the damage has been done.
of course others amoung them (the smarter ones) also take the opposite
stance.
