I am currently reading “The Gulag Archipelago” by Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn. It should be required reading in high school.
The Great Terror by Robert Conquest is, in my opinion, the definitive work on the subject.
The scale of human atrocities committed by the communists is far worse than even the atrocities of Hitler, yet few would believe it because it is never discussed by the communist sympathizers who control so many of the Western institutions like the media and the eduction systems. Few even know that these atrocities happened because it exposes the left.
Maybe the senior classes can read.
Yes, required reading. Maybe in the Senior year, take the whole year to do it.
Also, “A Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich.” Work was only called off if the temperature dipped below -40.
*“The Gulag Archipelago” . It should be required reading in high school.* I don’t think so. Reading is too long and dry.
*The Great Terror by Robert Conquest* The subject is too deep for Most readers to commit to-500+ pages.
*Anne Applebaums-The Gulag* I read half of it. The theme was Russians wanting to put it behind them. Started out with the canal that didn’t work.
*Ivan Denisovich*-shorter.
