Russia in Collapse, first published in Russia in 1998, is the first book of nonfiction by Solzhenitsyn to appear in English since 1995. It contains his latest and most considered thought on the state of Russian politics, history, society, and culture, But it also includes his reflections on more general topics like law, democracy, patriotism, local self-government, and authority. To those with ears to hear, Russia in Collapse confirms that Solzhenitsyn is no pessimist, and certainly no theocrat, but rather a hopeful realist in full engagement with his times.
