As the graphic says...
This is a very positive change from the recent political climate in the US. This shows not just the renewed interest of people in politics, but also a serious challenge to the big lobby run election campaigns of the yore!

Solzhenitsyn is dead...

My impressions of Solzhenitsyn is mixed. On one hand I have high regards for his humanitarian contributions in exposing the cruelties of Stalinist Soviet regime. On the other hand, his thoroughly right wing social view has disturbed me quite a lot.
He was a frequent ideological presence in the heated discussions we used to have while in the engineering college and later in the lawns of University College, TVM.
Today, I remember him again.
