I've had a .pdf of Gulag Archipelago for years, and have just never read it. Maybe I should.

Thanks for the info. I think my basic point that Russia is acting as Russia historically has - very conservatively - still stands, but obviously I need to go back to school on my 20th century Russian history.

That's a great book. Highly recommended. He is a great man.

What I was referring to was this book.

definitely an interesting perspective. I'll have to read more into the critical reception and rebuttal to see what others say about it (looks like it's pretty divisive).
