Alexander Solzhenitsyn and six dissident colleagues who at the time of publication were still living in the USSR â€” six men totally vulnerable to arrest, imprisonment, or execution by the Soviet authorities â€” joined in the midseventies to write a book which surely remains the most extraordinary debate of a nationâ€™s future published in modern times. Shattering a half-century of silence, From Under the Rubble constitutes a devastating attack on the Soviet regime, a moral indictment of the liberal West, and a Christian manifesto calling for a new society â€” one whose dominant values would be spiritual rather than economic. Personally edited by the Nobel Prize-winning author, fired by his own substantial contributions, From Under the Rubble articulates Solzhenitsynâ€™s most fervent call to action. His daring, and the remarkable courage of his colleagues, is testament to the seriousness of their demand for a revolution in which one does not kill oneâ€™s enemies, but in which â€œone puts oneself in danger for the sake of the nation!â€ With an introduction by Max Hayward, and translated under the direction of Michael Scammell. The contributors: Alexander Solzhenitsyn, Mikhail Agursky, Evgeny Barabanov, Vadim Borisov, F. Korsakov, A.B., Igor Shafarevich.
