A.I. Solzhenitsyn as a successor of Russian national tradition

The social and political views of A.I. Solzhenitsyn represent an organic part of the Russian free conservatism tradition that emerged after the French Revolution and matured after the 1812 due to N.M. Karamzin, V.A. Zhukovsky, A.S. Pushkin, F.I. Tyutchev, and their successors. The clear “consonance” of the ideas of A.I. Solzhenitsyn and his predecessors in the Russian tradition of the conservative originality is expressed in their rejection of imitation of Western culture and in the direct “genetic” relationship of their ideas.
