"A World Split Apart" Alexander Solzhenitsyn | Speeches By Prisoners
Update: 2023-07-18
Description
In 1978, Russian exile, Alexander Solzhenitsyn gave the commencement address to Harvard graduates. Unlike most commencement speeches, it painted Western culture in macabre, depressing descriptions of its decline in courage, legalism, direction of freedom and the press, socialism, loss of will, thinking with only respect to what's 'fashionable', short-sightedness, pervasive secular humanism, and its doomed similarities to the communist government under which he'd been exiled.
So, don your cap and gown and let's listen and think about what he had to say to those Harvard graduates four decades ago.
