Episode Synopsis

Father James Grant discusses Alexander Solzhenitsyn, a Russian author and dissident, criticised Western naivety towards communism, particularly American support for the Soviet Union. He argued this support strengthened communism and enabled the suppression of freedom movements. Solzhenitsyn also analysed the Catholic Church’s compromises with communist regimes, highlighting the need for a realistic understanding of Chinese communism and its suppression of religious freedom.
