I recently got hold of From Under the Rubble, a collection of essays by Solzhenitsyn and other Russian thinkers written in the 1970s and circulated surreptitiously among themselves.

It occurred to me that I'm not the first person to ask: "where do we go from here? How do we go there?" and these essays are thought-provoking responses.

They are decidedly not very rational-- I'm not sure there is a rational basis for optimism in 1970s Soviet Russia.
