Thanks for your message Deborah! Please have hope, there is many who share and recognize these wise brave hero's and we seem to be blessed with them in each era. All the best and blessings 🙏
Very helpful to hear this today as I try to live in a manner that honors how I have been invited to fill up the unique place in this world that is mine, always determined in the context of a dialogue with the Divine. Hard to let myself be stripped of material comfort, simplification of life is necessary for the spiritual life Solzhenitsyn speaks of.
And when people attempt to develop virtue, to become manful for ancient values, they're deemed as judgemental by those around them as if to say, *"Stop revealing to us our superficial tendencies! Stop judging! Stop being weird! Be normal!"* Normal of course is best designated by the characteristic passion of a given group's idol. Study history all you want. Glean from its vast stores of wisdom. Herald the warnings of your ancestors long forgotten. It won't be enough to turn the hearts of those around you. Anyone can rationalize anything, so long as you know which passions assail them most. Reason itself is being undermined or hijacked to service oneself. No nobility. No remembrance of history. Nothing. Just a sea of people (nay, avatars of fallen spirits ignorant to the glorious Image resident in their hearts) swimming in the chaos of this fallen world trying to satisfy their futile passions. Were you to become a Saint, only then might you be able to influence them, but most likely you'd be martyred, sacrificed to the idols of their group's demonic god. Lord, have mercy on us all. Cain's cities are loosing their grip.
Thank you for your comment Pano. Yes, it is hard to see much good in today's world. Though God, values and morals have been misconstruded, in persuit of expedient pleasures and grasping to the materials of the physical world, there are still glimpses of hope and a wish for virtue, goodness and kindness to prevail in this world. It is easy to feel hopeless and pescimistic but you seem to have a good heart. Keep your heart up! 🙂
how do you hear this and walk away an unchanged person? i am a mere plebian and probably get only about half of what he says, but what he has said about materialism and the eradication of spiritualism in the US weigh heavily on my heart...
And now…..materialism seems to be a catch phrase in comparison to humanism. The right, since the individual human is above all ( even though in reality he is fallen in position, both morally and authority) to decide what/who he is in identity! What madness!
Thanks. This is better than a dubbed audio of the same speech. Couldn't finish listening to the other one bc I know some Russian so I couldn't focus on either language
@@MikhailKrilov it's not of interest to me however I have nothing but respect for you for posting this so I will check it out! Solzhenitsyn is a breathe of fresh air amidst the insanity of today
Thank you! Harvard, in their ignorance, (see highlighted reply below.) destroyed the actual live event for all. Harvard is as harvard does. -Cambridge Native sound engineer
What makes you think they did it accidentally or unthinkingly? (I assume this is what you meant by "in their ignorance". Which translates into, "because of their lack of knowledge and understanding" of what he was trying to impart. I do not believe it was accidental in the least. Better to say, "the elitists will do, as the elitists do". For some reason this resonates more with me. Just a perspective, nothing more.
@@jhollow36 I concede. Harvard fucked me and my crews out of speeches to the best of their abilities. Nader they pulled our feed.

That's right. Harvard took on NZ's worst PM in history who made shocking calls against human rights. She was also a Communist romanticist. Harvard was rated one of the worst in the world on Free Speech even by their own metrics! Thanks for commenting
Thank you very much for this I must have listened to this 10 times already and I would like the rumble audience to also have access to this. Any chance you can load it there also?
@@kaiyim9167 Thank you, i am so glad this is of value to you. It is especially relevant with today's events. It is now available for you on Rumble. Thank you 🙏
The downfall of western society then 40+ minutes on the cause. The ‘death’ of Spirituality and Christian values and mans inherent evil. I fear he is whistling in the wind. The speech is apparently six years old. Does anyone think it made any difference at all?
Unfortunately there is a culture of dismissal towards people like this man. He is severely undermined by today's culture. The best we can do is make the changes in our own lives, and stand by our values.
@@MikhailKrilov Excellent response. And thank you for your narration, it was done quite well. I've since ordered a couple of Solz's books, as I feel they ARE quite relevant now.
“Let us be more concerned with human obligations rather than human rights.”
Yes! Thanks for highlighting this. An important point, which seems unaccounted for by many today
Thank you so much for translating this into English.
Thanks Kathy! I didn't do the translating, just the reading :) but the message remains, a great Writer and Wise man he was!
thank you very much, we can see now what he said about the West has come true, have mercy on us LORD
Thanks for your message Deborah! Please have hope, there is many who share and recognize these wise brave hero's and we seem to be blessed with them in each era. All the best and blessings 🙏
I love this speech, listen to it often, and love all ya'll who take the time to let this great man's words steep in your heart. Peace kids.
Can't think of an American politician in last five decades with this mans courage conviction and writing ability.
Agreed! Where are the courageous and inspiring leaders??
@@MikhailKrilov murdered or just scared I think and I mean both sides
Thank you all for your kind comments! His message is most important in todays age, as it was then
Great job, brother. There are some great speeches out there and it's hard to outshine this jewel.
Please record old speeches of 18th century from archive.org of great men.
Thank you for your English reading of this great Solzhenitsyn speech!!
Thanks for taking the time to listen and comment, so glad it was of value to you 😊🙏
It brings it to life way better than just reading it myself, it is much appreciated!

The fact that this was shared 3 years ago and only has 500ish views is reflective of exactly what he speak upon!
Thank you so much for this!
You are most welcome!
Yes, thank you, pretty good narration skills. Better than mine for sure.
Incredibly prescient speech. Thanks!
Thanks for your comment! His words are very wise! 🙏
Thank you for your effort and for including the link to the transcript.
My pleasure John :) thanks for your comment.
@@MikhailKrilovI too appreciate your effort and wish you would still do more as you mentioned in another post.
He and Yuri Bezmenov have given me so much insight into how we got where we are today. Thank you for the clear reading.
Mee Too.
Im so pleased to hear of your insights! Brilliant minds they are! Canaries in the coalmine perhaps.
@@MikhailKrilov bezmenov is useless. Solzhenitsyn is a treasure
Thanks for your effort Nicholas.

@@MikhailKrilov Thank you for your comments, good sir. Yes, God will not abandon us.
The only choice is to be a saint
I like your writing. Very good sir. Trust in the lord. He's coming back.
Your last sentence may be more insightful and accurate than most may realize. Thank you for sharing your thoughts. I unfortunately must concur.

Job well done!

Thank you for this reading, I found the original recording quite difficult to listen to with both the Russian and English simultaneously…

He would not be allowed to speak at Harvard today

And to think he delivered this speech in 1978! Western media has lost all dignity
@@MikhailKrilov It never really had any to start with.
@@germanicusfink2350
Exactly. This charade has been in the works since the founding of the USA, rolled out step by step.
This is how knowledge is preserved. The original recording is dog shit.
I subscribed so you have 1 k subs xD
