“He blotted out his own homeland.” The State Duma proposed removing Solzhenitsyn’s “The Gulag Archipelago” from the school curriculum
The first deputy head of the United Russia faction in the State Duma, Dmitry Vyatkin, proposed excluding a number of works from the school curriculum, including Alexander Solzhenitsyn's Gulag Archipelago. “Those works that have not stood the test of time, that do not correspond to reality, “gossip in the form of versions,” as Vysotsky wrote and sang, without any doubt, should be excluded from the school curriculum,” Vyatkin said.
