Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
A moral witness who exposed the soul-crushing reality of totalitarian rule. Through courage and clarity, he defended conscience and free speech, reminding the world that no utopian scheme is worth the price of truth and human dignity. His voice continues to warn against the seduction of centralized power and the lies that sustain it.
