Losing a Piece of Historical Memory

The great Russian writer, Nobel Prize winner and author of "Gulag Archipelago", Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, has just died. He was 89.

A man who wrote about conscience in the century that didn't have it has finally gone on to meet the author of conscience itself.

Here is his Harvard address.

And my favorite Solzhenitsyn speech, his Templeton Prize Address.

Finally, an interview in Der Spiegel.

Requiscat in Pace.
