Few books have left a mark on world history like The Gulag Archipelago. Since its groundbreaking publication in 1973, it has been translated into numerous languages and had a profound impact globally. How did Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, a former Soviet prisoner, manage to write this powerful work under constant KGB surveillance? Why did this book, unlike others, succeed in revealing the harsh truths of the Soviet regime to the West? Despite being banned in the USSR, how did it shake the foundations of the regime? Solzhenitsyn's work underscores the power of literature against historical distortions. In an era where Vladimir Putin's Russia grapples with a post-truth landscape, the relevance of Solzhenitsyn's struggle remains stronger than ever. Fifty years after its release, The Gulag Archipelago continues to resonate with its urgent message.
