Joseph Stalin (1878-1953)
Over a half century ago, while I was still a child, I recall hearing a number of old people offer the following explanation for the great disaster that had befallen Russia. "Men have forgotten God, that's why all this happened. " Since then I have spent well nigh 50 years working on the history of our revolution...But if I were asked today to formulate as concisely as possible the main cause of our ruinous revolution that swallowed up some 60 million of our people, I could not put it more accurately than to repeat: "Men have forgotten God, that's why all this has happened. "
Alexander Solzhenitsyn (1918-2008) Russian novelist, historian, and political dissident.
