Content

Contents Summary
Solzhenitsyn tells he distinguishes between love of justice and love for people and rejects the notion that history can be planned, saying that the task is to understand and try to foresee it. He says that one cannot go wrong when "living in truth."
Солженицын отвечает, что он различает любовь к справедливости и любовь к людям и считает, что историю нельзя спланировать заранее, но можно предвидеть. Он также пишет, что тот, кто "живет в правде", не может ошибиться.
