Salvo after salvo rattled from the Solzhenitsyn typewriter, always interleaved with carbon copies for fear that the secret police would seize the manusX-cript. Some fell on deaf earswilfully deaf, in the case of the European left. The notion that Stalin was a great wartime leader, for example, should never have survived the devastating portrait of sickly paranoia in 'The First Circle' (1969). Yet it has persisted to this day.
Though supporters in the West lumped Mr Solzhenitsyn with the rest of the intelligentsia, he stood monumentally alone. A friendship with an Estonian prisoner, Arnold Susi, had exploded his lingering belief in Marxismbut he detested the self-regarding and snooty Russian intellectuals, the 'well-read ones', as he referred to them. Unlike Andrei Sakharov, he had no belief in liberalism or human-rights campaigns. The fact that scientists might be deprived of visas left him unmoved. He cared about the fate of peasants and the general citizenry, Russians in the mass. Ivan Denisovich was not an intellectual: he was a peasant who was horrified to discover, in a letter from his wife, that the farmers in his village were now working in factories rather than haymaking. The creation of Soviet man was the horror Mr Solzhenitsyn chiefly wished to reverse.
Neither East nor West
Yet he had little time for the West either. Bundled on to a plane to West Germany in 1974, he turned his fire on other targets, thundering against materialism, shallowness and the silliness of popular Western culture. He would be no cold-war figurehead against the Kremlin and all its workshe was, to the core, a Russian nationalist. As communism fell he came to loathe Boris Yeltsin, Russia's leader, seeing him as the author of chaos and humiliation. But bitterness and envy may have played a part, too. Bitterness because his hero's welcome had turned into indifference to this dishevelled, hectoring, old-fashioned figure. And envy because Yeltsin stood in the place he should, he believed, have occupied himself.

[솔제니친의 타자기로부터 연속적으로 덜커덩거리는 소리가 들렸고 비밀경찰이 원고를 압수해 가지 않도록 하기 위하여 타자기에는 별도의 복사지를 끼워 넣었었다. 일부 사람들은 솔제니친의 말에 전혀 귀를 기울이지 않았다. 西歐(서구)의 좌파들은 고집스럽게 그의 말을 무시하였다. 스탈린이 위대한 전쟁지도자였다는 생각은 소설 “제 1 圓(원)”의 병색 짙은 편집광의 무서운 초상화보다 더 오래 살아 남아서는 안 되는 것이었다.
