200 Years Together

Two Hundred Years Together is a monumental work of historical scholarship by Soviet dissident and 1970 Nobel literature laureate, Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn dealing with the relationship between Russians and Jews inside the Russian and Soviet Empires. Solzhenitsyn authored it in Russian and the original work was published in Russian in 2001/2, with published translations in German and French following soon after. However, for reasons that will be obvious to those who have read it, it has never found an English language publisher.
It is a work of quintessential historical revisionism by an author of towering reputation and authority on Russia and the Soviet Union. The carefully nurtured global Jewish self-image as history's eternal victim is seriously dented by revelations of extensive high-level Jewish complicity in - not-to-say responsibility for - vast Soviet atrocities against its own populations; complicity which remains well hidden and largely unknown in the West. The book is thus anathema to orthodox Jewish and Zionist Establishments and this is amply reflected in its extended wikipedia article which categorises it as "Antisemitism" and is replete with obfuscation of the major issues involved. In classic Wikipedia style on sensitive Jewish issues, the article is dominated by multiple hostile critical reviews from largely Jewish sources and excludes ANY references to major dissenting authorities - in this case most notably to extensive reviews by Professor Kevin MacDonald.
The work is in two volumes; the first sub-titled "Russian-Jewish History 1795 to 1916" (512 pages), the second sub-titled "The Jews in the Soviet Union" (600 pages), which deals with the period from the Bolshevik revolution to the demise of the Soviet Union in the late 1990's.

From 2008 through to September 2010 a project to translate the book into English published various chapters as they became available. Links to those chapters are currently disabled.
