On ‘a February day in 1974, the same man was put aboard a TU-154 jet liner and sent into exile. The man was Alexander Solzhenitsyn, one of the most highly regarded literary figures in the world. He was arrested in 1945 for cri- ticizing Stalin in a letter to a friend. That statement cost Solzhenitsyn 11 years in some of Russia’s worst labor camps. But it did not silence him. : Prison brought an odd kind of freedom — the chance to talk freely. A fellow convict reminded Solzhenitsyn that, as someone trained in mathematics, he should doubt everything — even Marxism. A lawyer from Estonia told him of the. democracy in that country which had been crushed by | Soviet tanks. Solzhenitsyn emerged from prison in 1956, con- vinced that the Russian | people had to know what Stalin had done. His first novel, “The First Circle,” was applauded by the State- controlled press. But his criticisms of the system itself soon led to Solzhenitsyn's being for- bidden to publish. Still, his works circulated widely wat. One-Person can bo ALEXANDER SOLZHENITSYN Spokesman For Human Dignity underground inside Russia. Smuggled to the West, they became bestsellers. His pleas for fundamental human rights, for the right to live where one chooses, to write as one pleases, won universal acclaim. Although he was highly critical of Western political systems, Solzhenitsyn rejected Marxism and found faith and God in the Russian Orthodox Church. “I cannot accept,” wrote Aléxander “that it is impossible to reverse the disastrous course of history, that one human soul with confidence in itself cannot influence the most powerful force on earth.” His own life proved those words true. We are all in his debt. Solzhenitsyn, CAR WASH The Donegal High School Varsity Football Team will sponsor a car wash on .
