In this episode, we delve into Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn’s The Gulag Archipelago, a powerful exposé of the Soviet Union’s vast system of forced labour camps. Blending personal testimony, historical documentation, and philosophical insight, Solzhenitsyn’s work reveals the inner workings of Soviet repression—from arbitrary arrests and brutal interrogations to the inhuman conditions of camp life. We discuss the book’s global impact in awakening the world to the horrors of totalitarianism, its role in Cold War discourse, and its enduring relevance as a warning against the abuse of power. This episode explores how The Gulag Archipelago remains a timeless testament to human dignity, moral courage, and the power of truth in the face of oppression.
