A truly great man. I have read and been inspired by a number of his books. His passing is a great loss.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn died

When He returned to Russia, He didn't just flu into the Moscow!
He used the train, from all over Siberia and Russia...
And he stopped freguently at the small and big Cities and the Train Stations... And talked, and talked with the simple peoples...
He wanna know, what is going on!??
Not by the Media, but by the True Persons, directly!..

I hate death.
But I like dead people.
This post is off topic, just like the section in which it belongs.

I doesn't hear it!.. I do not used a TV! He was a political prisoner...
He was been an political emigrant, like me, at some ways...
He was been re-turner to Russia!.. He was a great Writer of 20 Century!
