One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich Book Review

I Twenty-four hour period in the Life of Ivan Denisovich (1963)

Brothers Judd Elevation 100 of the 20th Century: Novels

    Over a half century agone, while I was even so a child, I think hearing a number of former people offer the
    following explanation for the smashing disasters that had befallen Russia: "Men have forgotten God;
    that's why all this has happened." Since so I take spend well-nigh 50 years working on the history
    of our revolution; in the procedure I have read hundreds of books, nerveless hundreds of personal
    testimonies, and accept already contributed eight volumes of my own toward the effort of immigration
    abroad the rubble left past that upheaval. But if I were asked today to formulate equally concisely as
    possible the principal cause of the ruinous revolution that swallowed upwardly some 60 million of our people,
    I could non put it more accurately than to repeat: "Men have forgotten God; that's why all this has
    happened."
-Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn

Over the grade of his long and brilliant career equally a gadfly to both Russia and the West, Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn managed to pull off a remarkable trifecta: he was exiled by the USSR, banished from the Cold State of war dialogue by Western political and cultural elites and and so banished from the discussion over Russia's future past the intelligencia there.  He has truly fabricated a career as a phonation crying in the wilderness, launching one jeremiad after another.

In 1945, Solzehenitsyn was sent to the Gulag for ten years after writing derogatory comments about Stalin in a letter to a friend. One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich, as the title suggests, describes what just one day would have been like behind the barbed wire.  The story is set up in the forced labor camp where he was imprisoned from 1950-53.  That the organisation that perpetrated such crimes was evil is obvious, but information technology is through the sheer accumulation of mundane indignities and small triumphs (over hunger, common cold, ill health, etc.) that the horror of the camps is actually brought home.  Ane of the almost dramatic moments in the volume, nicely illustrative of the minor scale but enormous stakes of the victories won, comes when Ivan manages to secrete a spoon that he had forgotten he was carrying.  In the cease, only surviving this barbaric system becomes the greatest victory.

With the publication of this volume, in 1962, during the brief Kruschev thaw, Solzhenitsyn became an international sensation.  In 1974, when the first sections of The Gulag Archipelago were published in Paris, Solzhenitsyn was arrested, tried for treason and forced into exile, eventually settling in Vermont.  I suppose folks must take expected him to be and then grateful for his asylum that he would express undying gratitude to the United States.  If and so they underestimated the moral tenor of the man.  He proved to be well-nigh equally outspoken a critic of the West as he had been of the USSR, culminating in his 1978 Harvard Commencement speech, where first he excoriated Western intellectuals in general:

    A decline in courage may exist the well-nigh striking characteristic that an exterior observer notices in the Due west
    today. The Western world has lost its civic backbone, both as a whole and separately, in each
    state, in each government, in each political party, and, of grade, in the Un. Such a
    decline in courage is especially noticeable among the ruling and intellectual elites, causing an
    impression of a loss of courage by the entire gild. At that place are many mettlesome individuals, but
    they accept no determining influence on public life.

    Political and intellectual functionaries showroom this depression, passivity, and perplexity in their
    deportment and in their statements, and even more so in their self-serving rationales as to how realistic,
    reasonable, and intellectually and fifty-fifty morally justified it is to base of operations state policies on weakness and
    cowardice. And the turn down in backbone, at times attaining what could be termed a lack of manhood,
    is ironically emphasized by occasional outbursts and inflexibility on the office of those same
    functionaries when dealing with weak governments and with countries that lack support, or with
    doomed currents which clearly cannot offer resistance. But they get natural language-tied and paralyzed
    when they deal with powerful governments and threatening forces, with aggressors and
    international terrorists.

    Must one signal out that from aboriginal times a decline in courage has been considered the first
    symptom of the end?

and then liberal humanism:

    This tilt of liberty toward evil has come up about gradually, but it evidently stems from a humanistic
    and benevolent concept according to which homo - the primary of the earth - does not conduct any evil
    within himself, and all the defects of life are acquired by misguided social systems, which must
    therefore be corrected.

and so the Press:

    The press can act the role of public opinion or miseducate it. Thus we may see terrorists heroized,
    or surreptitious matters pertaining to the nation's defense publicly revealed, or nosotros may witness shameless
    intrusion into the privacy of well-known people according to the slogan "Anybody is entitled to
    know everything." (But this is a false slogan of a false era; far greater in value is the forfeited right
    of people non to know, not to accept their divine souls stuffed with gossip, nonsense, vain talk. A
    person who works and leads a meaningful life has no need for this excessive and burdening menstruation of
    data.)

    Hastiness and superficiality - these are the psychic diseases of the twentieth century and more than
    anywhere else this is manifested in the press. In-depth assay of a trouble is anathema to the
    press; it is contrary to its nature. The press just picks out sensational formulas.

    Such every bit it is, however, the press has become the greatest ability inside Western countries,
    exceeding that of the legislature, the executive, and the judiciary. Yet one would like to ask:
    Co-ordinate to what law has it been elected and to whom is it responsible? In the Communist East, a
    journalist is frankly appointed as a land official. But who has voted Western journalists into their
    positions of power, for how long a time, and with what prerogatives?

then made his style back to attack the very fundament of Western modernity--rational humanism:

    How has this unfavorable relation of forces come virtually? How did the West refuse from its
    triumphal march to its nowadays debility? Accept at that place been fatal turns and losses of direction in its
    development? It does non seem and so. The West kept advancing steadily in accordance with its
    proclaimed social intentions, hand in hand with a dazzling progress in engineering science. And all of a
    sudden it establish itself in its nowadays state of weakness.

    This means that the mistake must be at the root, at the very foundation of thought in mod times.
    I refer to the prevailing Western view of the world in modern times. I refer to the prevailing
    Western view of the world which was born in the Renaissance and has found political expression
    since the Age of Enlightenment. It became the ground for political and social doctrine and could be
    chosen rationalistic humanism or humanistic autonomy: the pro-claimed and practiced autonomy of
    man from whatsoever higher force above him. Information technology could also be called anthropocentricity, with human seen as
    the center of all.

    The plow introduced by the Renaissance was probably inevitable historically: the Middle Ages had
    come to a natural stop past burnout, having go an intolerable despotic repression of homo's
    concrete nature in favor of the spiritual one. But then we recoiled from the spirit and embraced all
    that is material, excessively and incommensurately. The humanistic way of thinking, which had
    proclaimed itself our guide, did not admit the being of intrinsic evil in man, nor did it meet whatsoever
    task college than the attainment of happiness on earth. It started modern Western civilization on the
    unsafe trend of worshiping man and his textile needs.

    Everything beyond physical well-beingness and the accumulation of material goods, all other homo
    requirements and characteristics of a subtle and higher nature, were left outside the area of attention
    of country and social systems, as if homo life did not have whatever higher pregnant. Thus gaps were left
    open for evil, and its drafts blow freely today. Mere freedom per se does not in the least solve all
    the problems of human life and fifty-fifty adds a number of new ones.

    And yet in early democracies, as in American democracy at the time of its birth, all private
    human rights were granted on the ground that human is God'southward animate being. That is, freedom was given to
    the individual conditionally, in the assumption of his constant religious responsibleness. Such was the
    heritage of the preceding i thousand years. Two hundred or even fifty years ago, it would have
    seemed quite impossible, in America, that an individual be granted boundless freedom with no
    purpose, simply for the satisfaction of his whims.

    Later on, however, all such limitations were eroded everywhere in the West; a total
    emancipation occurred from the moral heritage of Christian centuries with their keen reserves of
    mercy and sacrifice. State systems were becoming ever more materialistic. The Westward has finally
    achieved the rights of man, and even backlog, but man'due south sense of responsibility to God and society
    has grown dimmer and dimmer. In the past decades, the legalistic selfishness of the Western
    approach to the world has reached its peak and the world has institute itself in a harsh spiritual crunch
    and a political impasse. All the historic technological achievements of progress, including the
    conquest of outer space, practice not redeem the twentieth century's moral poverty, which no one could
    have imagined even as belatedly equally the nineteenth century.

By the time he was finished administering this necessary emetic to the Western body politic, he had alienated virtually every important opinion making group of the liberal establishment and they began to dismiss him as a sort of cranky correct wing kook.  The powers that be only stripped him of his legitimacy because they didn't like what he said.

And so came the fall of the Soviet Union and his triumphal return dwelling--well, what should accept been a triumphal render.   Instead his brutally honest and morally centered jeremiads against Russian materialism, gangsterism and feeble democratic reforms have alienated most of his natural allies in his own homeland.

Throughout all of these travails, his vision has remained constant and his volition unbreakable.  The reaction to him of the varying societies advise just how rare a creature he is and how seldom we see his like.  He is one of the truly pivotal intellectual and moral figures of the century and

I Day in the Life

is an excellent introduction to his estimable corpus of great works.

Obituary: Alexander Solzhenitsyn (BBC, 8/03/08)

Born into a family of Cossack intellectuals, Alexander Solzhenitsyn graduated in mathematics and physics, but inside weeks the Soviet Union was fighting Hitler for its survival. Solzhenitsyn served as an artillery officer and was decorated for his courage, but in 1945 was denounced for criticising Stalin in a alphabetic character. He spent the next eight years as 1 of the countless men indelible the gulags. He was one of the lucky ones to survive.

The residual of united states were the lucky ones.

Of particular merit is Mahoney's chapter on Pyotr Stolypin, prime government minister of Russia from 1906 until 1911, who might be chosen the "hero" of Solzhenitsyn's Blood-red Wheel. Stolypin, a liberal who all the same admired Russian federation's aboriginal culture, attempted to reform his nation'due south semi-feudal political and economic practices while at the same time preserving the old customs and habits that were the bonds tying Russian club together. Stolypin was the just Russian statesman who understood the delicate residue between the old and the new — between conservation and modify. His assassination led to the autumn of the Tsar, the victory of Bolshevism, and the murder of millions of innocent people crushed under the relentless and inhuman Cherry Wheel.
