'Can a man who's warm understand one who's freezing?' ⁠
⁠
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn was born on this day in 1918. An outspoken critic of the Soviet Union and Communism, he helped to raise global awareness of its Gulag labor camp system with this vital (and still scarily relevant) book 'One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich'.⁠
