SOLZHENITSYN SAYS THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS RUSSIAN DEMOCRACY

´´I have said many times that we have never had anything like democracy since the day that Gorbachev came to power, to say nothing about before that,´´ Solzhenitsyn said.

He criticized the United States for ´´attempting to impose its vision of democracy´´ on the world.

SOLZHENITSYN SAYS THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS RUSSIAN DEMOCRACY

Nobel Prize for literature laureate and former Soviet political prisoner Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn on 5 June gave his first interview in three years to RTR television.

Solzhenitsyn said that he does not understand why people are talking about a so called ´´assault on democracy in Russia.´´

´´I have said many times that we have never had anything like democracy since the day that Gorbachev came to power, to say nothing about before that,´´ Solzhenitsyn said.

He sharply criticized the country´s political institutions and its policies over the last 15 years, saying that the government ´´robbed the people of their savings´´ and then rushed through privatization.

´´Privatization architect Chubais said the world had never seen such a rapid privatization program,´´ Solzhenitsyn said.

´´But we also established a cult of billionaires who were always asking how to make things better for themselves, rather than for all of us.´´

He added that democracy is a slow process that cannot be imposed from above but goes from the bottom to the top.

He criticized the United States for ´´attempting to impose its vision of democracy´´ on the world.

He concluded by saying that Russia´s national idea should be ´´to save the nation.´´
