I remember how quickly the Western media turned on Solzhenitsyn. For a while he was their darling. Then, all of a sudden, he was a pariah. Nobody talked about him. He was shut out. I didn't know it at the time, but it was because his views about the Jews had become known to the Western press, which is (as he pointed out) controlled by Jews. Suddenly, all his brave rebellion against communism, all his deep philosophical and political thought, counted for nothing. But it didnt' change him. Solzhenitsyn had survived winters in the Siberian gulag, and he had no trouble standing up to the snubs of the media.
