This interview of Solzhenitsyn explains a history of Russia and Europe, Ukraine and the US. As well as discusses the agendas of Henry Kissinger and Zbigniew Brzezinski. An interesting read.

An excerpt of a prognostication he made at the end of the interview below that I believe means something about the agendas of the West that few of us wanted to think thirty years ago. Is this why so much effort has gone into keeping both nations adversarial. Russia saves the west from itself?

"AS: If one looks far into the future, one can foresee in the 21st century such a time when the U.S. together with Europe will be in dire need of Russia as an ally.

Forbes: That is a puzzling assertion.

AS: It is puzzling only for those who don't look into the future and do not see what kind of new powers are arising in the world."
