"Bertrand Russell, you cheap armchair leftist"

Tolstoy's daughter was sentenced 3 years in prison because she served tea to intellectuals in the place where they met.

We can describe the totality of British foreign policy very simply- massive fucking cunts.
It turns out that selling out people to the communists to be executed, sent to prisons or camps or who knows what else was their policy in general, they've done it almost, it seems, when they had the chance.

It's actually incredibly funny, the tone Solženjicin ledns the book a feeling of both dread and humour, how absurd the whole USSR was in its totality, with cases such as 30000 Czech being sent to Gulags because they couldn't be sure there were no spies amongst them or how there was hunger in cities because there were too many traitors amongst the peasants so there weren't enough people left to grow the crops.
