Hi, everyone, and welcome to the Christian Emergency Podcast.

I'm Andy Coleman, your host, and today we have the honor of speaking with Ignaz Solzhenitsyn, son of Alexander Solzhenitsyn.

Alexander Solzhenitsyn was an incredibly important author and voice of the 20th century.

He wrote the Gulag Archipelago.

which Time Magazine named as the best nonfiction book of the 20th century.

He was a Russian dissident.

He exposed a lot of the horrors that were happening in the Soviet Union, horrors that were being denied, not just there but around the world.

He spoke for virtue and morality and the importance of both in public life Ignat Solzhenitsyn himself is a very accomplished individual.
