Introduction

In "Rebuilding Russia" by Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, the author does depict the excitement that is a result of how the democratic nations do achieve the aim of creating an exceptional environment for its populace. For some of these countries, it is not possible to achieve democracy due to the advocating of participative nature. Democracy in some of these countries could not be achieved unless the population is united against their leadership and transform the nation for the need of opulence and dignity to all.

In the pursuit of dignity for all and the national prosperity, revolt happened in Russia in 1917. It was "the red communist revolution." The Marxists did this, and it changed the Russian lives for over seventy years of dignified time in future. The "soviet union did in 1991 come to the end" with a least "fifteen republics" having taken a separate stance against the malevolence empire.

The Russians had been subject to brutality for a longer duration that was perpetrated by their own government, and a collapse was a relief. Russian did in the first time elect a democratic president "B.N Yeltsin," who after coming to power embraced a different approach of leadership. He did engage in the global politics and the restoring of the tarnished Russian acquaintances with the nations that were cynical of the Soviet Union. This president advocated for mechanisms of democracy such as the "freedom of speech" and a complete halt to "corruption and crime."

Author autobiography

Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn was a Russian author and historian. He was born in 1918, in the Soviet Union. He in his writing career, faced issues including being sent to prison for a letter he did as a criticism of Joseph Stalin. He worn the Noel piece price for literature in 1970 and was ordered out of his mother country in 1974. He returned in 1994, after the communism approach of leadership fell. He, studied knowledge, narration and literature and became a teacher. He later joined the army in 1941, after the invasion by the Nazis, and rose quickly up the ranks; due to his service, into captainency. He was arrested in 1945, when he criticized the soviet dictator; Stalin, and was forced to spend three years of prison life in addition to the five years he spent in communist labor camps. Upon Stalin's death, he was set free and went back into teaching. He then started writing on his experiences in the labor camps and the subjugation of communism.

Body

Communism, and the brutality of the Soviet Union, is greatly criticized for oppressing it's people by the author. He for instance argues, "At the height of Stalin's terror in 1937-38," he managed to kill at least forty thousand people. He furthered this by expounding on the various ways other than shooting that the Soviet Union dictators used to terminate the Russians. In one of the quotations, he says, "Over there people are groaning, and dying, and in psychiatric hospitals. Doctors are making their evening rounds, injecting people with drugs, which destroy their brain cells." In the article, the precepts such as Lenin's "that anyone is considered to be a fool who doesn't take what's lying in front of him," are brought out with clarity. Such dictators were very first at oppressing their opposers and criticizers and Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, was not exclusion.

He furthers the brutality by the no option proposals by the dictators to their populace by use of strict stands. Lenin, for example, furthered his brutality on option of taking what is given and argued that "If you can take it, take it. If you can attack, attack. Nevertheless, if there is a wall, then go back." Such contexts were oppressing and demeaning to the Russians. In his work, is able to depict the communist leadership styles in the negative. He for instance depict that these leaders rigidity and oppressive nature when he argues, "the Communist leaders respect only firmness." This is further given more weight by the fact that they "have contempt and laugh at persons who continually give in to them."What kind of brutality and exploitation of humanity. Taking their option was more demeaning than opposing due to the stigmatization.

The fact that author, in his work opposed the brutality and oppression of the Russian people is what this work supports (Solzhenitsyn & Kilmoff, 12-23). In his work, it is argued that he was able to do an exposure of the realities that were behind the "iron curtain." Many of the innocent populace was punished for despising the soviet regime. Many were "detained, murdered, and were subjected to forced labor." This was done to the people who did courageously spoke or acted outside the boundaries of the so referred to as "Red state."

Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn was suspicious of capitalism and communism (Solzhenitsyn & Solzhenitsyn, 42). He pinpoints the collaborating by the communist and the capitalist as they tried to devour Russia its heritage and power. He argued "But just as we feel ourselves your allies, there is another alliance in existence; at glance a strange and surprising one. If you think about it, it is the one which is well-founded and unproblematic to appreciate: the alliance involving our Communist leaders and your capitalists." In his work, he does despise any approaches by the Soviet Union leaders, which were perpetrated by the people who were even supposed to take care of them. He is able to show the establishment of the labor camps, set to oppress the people who were opposed to the Soviet Union dictatorship and the quest fro the people freedom, which was not achievable until the fall of the Soviet Union governance.

Being subjected to pain and hard labor after the government deemed one as an opposer is what the author went out to criticize, is against the humanity concept. The Soviet Union leadership did not take care of its people as depicted In "Rebuilding Russia." Instead, they ensured the ones who were bold to stand against their rule were punished, and silenced through isolation, and hard labor in the Gulags. Democracy advocated for In "Rebuilding Russia" was achieved only after the fall of the dictatorial curtain in 1990.Despite of the long struggle, freedom, and democracy, finally rained on the citizens of Russia. Such happenings and the determination for the long struggle depicted in articles by Solzhenitsyn are some of the factors that influenced this writing relating to the "in book" approach.

Conclusion

In "Rebuilding Russia" by Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, the author did explicitly show the oppressive nature of the Soviet despotic administration. He in his work, able to emphasize that the colonial Russia was not practicing any somewhat real expurgation, and that the political prisoners were not in most cases taken to the labor camps. In addition, he did too clarify that the numbers of the exiles and political prisoners, was just a tip of the real number in the Soviet Union.

The argument the Marxism is violent is well brought out and he believes are from the teachings of Karl Marx and his accomplish Friedrich Engels. He is influence by the undertakings to believe that "Marxists administration will at all time be dictatorial" despite the realm in which they exist. He believed that Russia was not the "ruling nation in soviet union." He believed that all ethnic cultures were oppressed and Russia the most, in favor of the atheistic Leninism (Ericson & Mahoney, 142). This was due to the fact that, the soviet regime was afraid of the ethnic uprisings amongst the Christians in Russia than it was possible from any other direction.

In "Rebuilding Russia, "the author has been able to give a clarified picture of the real situation imposed on the citizens by the Soviet Union dictators who even took him to prison for three years and did five years in the labor camps for criticizing the leadership of Stalin. He was lucky to have Stalin meet his early death and his release afterwards, having not served the whole sentence. The Soviet Union leadership was dictatorial and oppressive to Russians and all affected parties. The situation is well shown and when liberty came, all was celebrated, and it even led to his return to Russia in 1994, after 18 years in exile.
