«La Russie sous l'avalanche» is the historical essay by Alexandre Soljenitsyne, published by Fayard in hardcover (351 pages, in French).
In this essay, Soljenitsyne takes stock of Russia after the dissolution of the USSR: he maintains that the country is crushed by the crisis, rejects the idea that there was no other path, and presents himself as a witness to the century. His purpose is to bring together and synthesize the scattered analyses of the ills of Russian society in order to seek a way out.
The original title of the work is «Россия в обвале»; it falls within the category of History.
For readers interested in the contemporary history of Russia and in Soljenitsyne's political thought.
Aleksandr Isayevich Solzhenitsyn was a Soviet and Russian author and dissident who helped to raise global awareness of political repression in the Soviet Union, especially the Gulag prison system. He was awarded the 1970 Nobel Prize in Literature "for the ethical force with which he has pursued the indispensable traditions of Russian literature". His nonfiction work The Gulag Archipelago "amounted to a head-on challenge to the Soviet state" and sold tens of millions of copies.
