You're using him as an example for your position. He's not a good example.
Yes, One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich. He wrote several others. The Gulag Archipelgo wasn't published until 1973.
Stalin was the dictator of the Soviet Union from 1922 to 1952. You may have hear of him. Solzhenitsyn was thrown into the gulag for criticizing him.

gee, Solzhenistsyn wrote history, yet you claim only the victors write history.

Did you read my initial response to you? Apparently not.

History is written by the victors. Except for that bit between 1939 and 1945; it's totally true.

vietnam war, certainly proves you wrong, as well as the Gulag Archipelago, Edward Pollard and his work on the civil war

Japan? Many of the Japanese leaders wrote books about the war that are pretty accurate

Soviet Union, many soviets wrote books about the soviet union

In the modern age, now, History is written by just about everyone
