I haven't read it, I just to know opinions on it. If I wanted a /pol/ thread, I would have posted there.

It's a pretty brutal read.
Great book. Only pussies read abridged.

please not again
I'd read In the First Circle before Archipelago
Also don't read it for the prose
Pretty shitty as a historical source.
Read J Arch Getty. Avoids Cold War cliches all the while not condoning the Stalinism.

Anti proletarian nonsense.

I think the prose was great, considering it isn't a novel. He's a great rhetorician.
Haven't read the first circle yet, have it on my shelf and will hopefully read it soon.
