"Man has forgotten God, that is why this has happened" was Russian author Alexander Solzhenitsyn's response when questioned about the decline of modern culture.

This echoed another Russian author, Dostoevsky, in whose book, The Brothers Karamazov, the character Ivan Karamazov contended that if there is no God, "everything is permitted."

Solzhenitsyn was imprisoned for eight years by Joseph Stalin, as he described in his autobiographical lecture, printed in the Nobel Foundation's publication, Les Prix Nobel, 1971:

"I was arrested on the grounds of what the censorship had found in my correspondence with a school friend, mainly because of certain disrespectful remarks about Stalin, although we referred to him in disguised terms.

A further basis for the 'charge' were drafts of stories and reflections which had been found in my map case."

He was Awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1970, but the Communist government did not allow him to leave the country to accept it.

He began publishing "The Gulag Archipelago" in 1973, and in response to international pressure, the Soviet Union expelled him on FEBRUARY 13, 1974.

The following year in Washington, D.C., Alexander Solzhenitsyn warned:

"I...call upon America to be more careful...because they are trying to weaken you...to disarm your strong and magnificent country in the face of this fearful threat-one that has never been seen before in the history of the world."
