  • although the Prize was awarded in 1970, Solzhenitsyn could not claim it personally until 1974, as shown in this video. {English audio with Swedish subtitles.}

      But hey, at least the boomers got their hero, bob dylan. What a joke. Just think in forty years the committee will be handing out prizes to SJW’s who can spell their name.

    This is the first picture or video ive seen of A. Solz. He has a face of a man that has rarely had a reason to smile. A true champion of freedom and the Evil scourging the 20th and now more than ever the 21st century.

    The way his wife is looking at him is deeply spiritual and nostalgic. It is as if she is seeing a deeper glory than a simple applause, award or certificate. 07:14 - 07:33

    Alexander solzhenitsyn truly a Voice of Truth, in a sea of Lies. May death as peaceful, as life was profound.

    Solzhenitsyn, Rushdie and Naipaul all very much deserved their noble prizes for different but justified reasons.

    I ten człowiek na Nobla zasłużył. Przyznawanie Nobla osobom, które nie dorównują mu do pięt to niesprawiedliwa zbrodnia przeciwo wielkiem i zasłużonym pisarzom.

      The man introducing Solzhenitsyn is Gierow, Karl Ragnar (1904-1982): chairman of the Swedish Academy’s Nobel Committee from 1970 until 1980.

      I recommend you read The Oak and the Calf, or at least the chapter Nobeliana where he explains why he accepted the Nobel prize.
