| − | The [[Russia]]n author [[Alexander Solzhenitsyn]] was born in 1917 when the Soviet regime came to power. Solzhenitsyn and his schoolmates born the same year as the [[Russian Revolution]] were referred to by their Marxist teachers as "twins of the revolution," and pressured to become "the New Soviet man," carrying on Russia's experiment in socialism. Years later in the 1970s he wrote, "Over half a century ago while I was still a child I recall hearing a number of old people offer the following explanation for the great disasters that had befallen Russia: 'Men have forgotten God'. They said that's why all this has happened. Since then I have spent well nigh 50 years working on the history of our [[revolution]], but if I were asked today to formulate as concisely as possible the main cause of the ruinous revolution that swallowed up some 60 million of our people, I could not put it more accurately than to repeat, men have forgotten God. That's why all this has happened."<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EVDYYQnCWp8</ref>
