Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
Aleksandr Isayevich Solzhenitsyn is a Russian novelist, philosopher, historian, short story writer and political prisoner. One of the most famous Soviet dissidents, Solzhenitsyn was an open critic of communism and helped raise awareness of human rights violations, the training camp system, the central Gulag and political repression in Soviet Union. Solzhenitsyn was born into a family despite the Soviet anti-religious campaign and has remained a pious member of the Russian Orthodox Church. However, at a very young age, Solzhenitsyn lost his faith in Christianity and became a staunch supporter of both atheism and Marxism-Leninism. While serving as captain of the Red Army in World War II, Solzhenitsyn was captured by SMERSH and sentenced to eight years in the Gulag and later internally exiled for criticizing Josef Stalin in a private letter.
