This culminated in the publication of Solzhenitsyn’s Gulag Archipelago in 1989, in the literary journal, Novy Mir.īut when, only a year later, Komsomol’skaya Pravda printed How Should We Develop Russia in a special supplement, Solzhenitsyn’s suggestions and concerns (grassroot democracy, land reform, independence for 12 of the 15 Soviet republics, etc.) was were met with disappointment: they seemed irrelevant.

In less than five years, from 1987 to 1991, Russians were exposed, via TV and the printed press, to a massive flow of new information - essentially anti-Communist in content - that made millions of Russians reconsider their understanding of the country’s past and present. On the other hand, Gorbachev must be credited with a policy that made possible the mass protest of August, 1991 - giving a large degree of freedom to the press. Yet among the responsible, Yeltsin and the other republican leaders should take a back seat to Gorbachev and his team, whose strategic vision proved shortsighted. Unfortunately, what followed was a hasty deconstruction of the Soviet Union, which turned millions of Russian speakers outside Russia into aliens or second-class citizens overnight, and left some nations to the mercy of Oriental tyrants.
