5 Quotes From The Gulag Archipelago<\/em><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We’ve collected five The Gulag Archipelago<\/em> quotes and included a bit of context and explanation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cUnlimited power in the hands of limited people always leads to cruelty.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Once people joined State Security, it was easy for the power they wielded to go to their heads. Representatives of State Security and the police, no matter how young or inexperienced, were treated with deference by all members of society. Some used their power to settle personal grudges, such as by having romantic rivals arrested.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These recruits were quickly exposed to the kinds of abuses they were expected to participate in. They would observe their superior officers beating, torturing, robbing, and sexually assaulting prisoners and were encouraged, if not outright ordered, to participate. Compliance showed loyalty, while refusal or squeamishness was mocked or punished. Showing too much sympathy for a prisoner could get you arrested for anti-Soviet sentiment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cA submissive sheep is a find for a wolf.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Solzhenitsyn quotes from letters he received from a number of current and former security officers. Many were defensive about their participation in the abuse of prisoners and argued that they had no choice but to follow orders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe prolonged absence of any free exchange of information within a country opens up a gulf of incomprehension between whole groups of the population, between millions and millions.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

From the 1930s on, the Soviet Union had an extremely robust and powerful propaganda system, exerting near-total control over how the government was depicted in the news, radio, and television; works of literary fiction; and in education. Historical events that threatened to embarrass the government were covered up, while successes were exaggerated. Another aspect of the propaganda system was the widespread use of euphemisms or deliberate mislabeling to obscure realities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIdeology\u2014that is what gives evildoing its long-sought justification and gives the evildoer the necessary steadfastness and determination.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Soviet citizens were indoctrinated into accepting propaganda as the absolute truth, no matter how obviously it contradicted the reality of their lives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One way the government could indoctrinate its citizens was by setting up a kind of us-versus-them mentality, wherein the Soviet Union was the bastion of morality and strength and had to be defended unquestioningly against other, more corrupt nations. Much of the Soviet Union\u2019s national identity, particularly during the Stalinist period Solzhenitsyn focuses on, was based on the supposed dichotomy of the West and the East. This conflict was positioned as a matter of ideology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOne man who stopped lying could bring down a tyranny.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

According to Solzhenitsyn, what would have made the biggest difference for prisoners in these cases was some form of transparency. If free citizens knew the extent of the abuses taking place in prison and the prisoners could count on their attempts at protest being recognized and publicized on the outside, they might have been able to work together to demand change. The Soviet government\u2019s ability to control the flow of information<\/a> was so significant because it kept the people ignorant of their most powerful tool of resistance\u2014their numbers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
