Summary: In this important new essay; Alexander Solzhenitsyn seeks to dispel a number of Western delusions about Soviet commu- nism-that there is something essentially Russian about communism (on the contrary, communism is throttling Russia to death, as it throttles any country on which it gets a hold), that there are 'moderates' in the politburo (an idea persistently pro- pounded by George Kennan among others), that the continuing pursuit of 'detente' is consistent with such acts of aggression as the occupation of Afghanistan. . Communism, he reminds his readers, will never desist from its efforts to seize the world, be it through direct military aggression, through subversion and terrorism or by subtly undermining society from within. To believe otherwise is' folly
