Question Question for Alex Him

Alex, what do you know regarding Alexander Solzhenisyn's book "200 years together" about Russia's relationship with the jews?

Have you read it in Russian language or know anyone who has?

Opinion?


Cheers

I know that it exists.

I did not read the book.

Solzhenitsyn was not a historian.

He was a dilettante in history and in this way his book should be perceived.

OK, neither have I yet in it's entirety. I've been looking around for a version that is approved of by Russians since it is a story about doings in their country.

It seems there many different translations of '200 years' in the West.

But he has never been called a liar. I've heard same about him but online sources and our US Library of Congress do list Solzhenitsyn as a historian as well as a novelist.

jews in the West who were at one time supportive of Solzhenitsyn have turned their backs on him because of this book.

Well, I guess its one of those things that you read and make up your own mind about it.


Thanks.

PS Did he really refuse the Order of St Andrew in Russia as a protest against Yeltsin government policies that impoverished regular Russians, that would be like an American refusing the 'Medal of Freedom' here.


He was quite a man your Solzhenitsyn.

Are these translations so different that you need to choose the "correct" among them?

This is true only for Western countries.

Similarly, the Russian Academy of Sciences considers him a historian. But I'm not interested in anyone's opinion.

If he is a historian, then where is his diploma from any historical university?

I only know that he graduated from the Faculty of Physics and Mathematics of the University of Rostov.

Everywhere they write that this is true.

I've only read part of one translation, I'll do more research and find out.

You have never said what nationality you are Alex, I always assumed it was Russian because of the photographs and information you post on the forum.

But Solzhenitsyn was educated and familiar with scientific method and surely applied it to his historical research.

Now I'm really curious, and I hope you don't think I'm rude ...what country are you from?

In universities, students for many years are studying not so much the scientific method, as they acquire special knowledge.

What would you say about a chemist who would write a scientific paper on astronomy?

Did I write something weird?

I tried to transform the English impersonal "they say" in "they write."

Actually I meant that:

According to the information on the Internet, he really refused the Order of St Andrew.

I'm from Russia. But you have my permission to locate me anywhere on our planet and beyond

I would say we might have a chemical engineer who is also an astrophysicist.

Scientific papers are still peer reviewed aren't they?

And what signs of a split personality do you note in the aggregate of my posts, so this leads you to suspicious?



Quote:

And this engineer is able to do high-quality scientific papers on astrophysics?

I see the opposite picture of what is happening in the academic world.

Now if a person is a scientist, then as a rule he is a narrow specialist even in his science. If he is a biologist, for example, he may be a specialist in virology. And it is precisely in this area that his opinion is significant. But his opinion in the scientific world is no longer authoritative in the fields of ichthyology, mycology, histology, entomology and etc.



Quote:

I hope so.

By the way, who was the scientific reviewer of the book of Solzhenitsyn?

Thank you very much, T.Garrett!

I understand specialization, I specialized in a specific area in my profession. But some people specialize in more than one thing, all I was aware of regarding Solzhenitsyn's credentials was that our Library of Congress considers him a historian as well as novelist.

Now I learned from you that he never formally studied history and will take that into account when I dig into "200 years".

Cheers

Today I voted for the first time without leaving home (about constitutional amendments).

I have a verified account on the website of public services and this is enough to use a computer and the Internet to vote.

My laziness is delighted with this!

Previously, it was so convenient only on the website of the Federal Tax Service.

I hope that soon there will be no need to attend any public services personally.

I am translating text from the Russian Post website - https://www.pochta.ru/no-mail-exchange/?from=carousel

Mail exchange during COVID-19

In connection with the measures to prevent the spread of COVID-19, most countries have significantly reduced international air traffic or completely stopped it. More than 30 countries have declared the termination of international mail processing or limited the time of work of mail facilities (a list of countries is given below).

In this regard, delays in the delivery of international mail are possible.

Currently, the Russian Post has organized regular mail with the countries of Europe, the Baltic states and the customs union. Sending mail is carried out by road through Germany, the Netherlands, Latvia and Ukraine.

Also, due to international restrictions, delayed delivery is carried out to the USA, China, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Belarus, Ukraine, Moldova, Romania, Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia, Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Great Britain, Hungary, Greece, Denmark, Ireland, Spain , Italy, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Slovakia, Slovenia, Turkey, Finland, France, Croatia, Czech Republic, Switzerland, Sweden, Israel, Armenia, Canada, Georgia.

In the near future, shipments to Hong Kong, Australia, Japan, South Korea, and Azerbaijan are planned.

List of countries that have stopped processing mail:

Bolivia, Honduras, Libya, Mauritania, Dominican Republic, Easter Island (Chile), Peru, Samoa, Tunisia, Chad, Ecuador, South Africa, Malawi, Togo, Cuba, Turkmenistan, Suriname.

We apologize for any delays.

So you voted to allow Putin to rule Russia until 2036 at least.
I hope the voting system stored your personal data for the future authorities of Russia

Why are you writing to me?

Have you already apologized to me for your insults and promised to conduct mutually respectful communication?

I have not seen such the apology, therefore it - https://vnnforum.com/showpost.php?p=...2&postcount=37 - remains in force.

Ok, little girl, stop crying and try to answer me directly. Have you voted to allow Putin to rule until 2036?
