After several centuries people can get used to any mistake, or come to love any distortion. But objectively speaking, the nature of this distortion does not change. It only grows into the consciousness of those who are used to it. However, the threat it carries has not gone anywhere.

If you’re one of the cynics, realize you’ve won a trophy roughly as valuable as a participation award for having lunch. If you’re a Christian, extend what grace you can, remembering that we’re all in the same boat and will have need of that very same grace in another minute or two.

Today’s tensions between Russia and the West have breathed new life into old caricatures that many thought had died with the Cold War. It would be ironic if in 2016 Russia’s only officially sanctioned leadership cult turned out to be one of peaceful nonresistance.

Christianity is not hostile to science. Christianity was a parent of science and Christians continue to work in science. Christianity will not allow science to overstep her bounds and claim to be the only source of knowledge. Scientism, the notion that only science finds truth, is the enemy of Christ, but it is also the enemy of poetry, art, and mathematics!

His statements about resurgent Russia, particularly in the last years before his death in 2008–well into the era of Putin’s leadership–did not suit those that would rather have the country in the permanently weak state of ‘freedom’ and ‘democracy’ of the 1990s, so that its resources could continue being plundered by domestic oligarchs and foreigners alike, while its culture–transformed into the soft authoritarianism of neo-Liberal Postmodernity. In contrast, one of the most attractive aspects of Putin’s Russia for Solzhenitsyn was the revival that Orthodox Christianity continues to experience.
