Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
His time in the Gulag changed his life, because he found that most of the men there had already rejected the Soviet government. In a strange way, it was only in the Gulag that Russians spoke freely about their political beliefs without fear of retribution. Solzhenitsyn later wrote, “You can have power over people as long as you don’t take everything away from them. But when you’ve robbed a man of everything, he’s no longer in your power.”
Solzhenitsyn wrote, “For a country to have a great writer is like having a second government. That is why no regime has ever loved great writers, only minor ones.” from Garrison Keillor
