Introduced by Robert Robinson

Alexander Solzhenitsyn's new book, "Lenin in Zurich", is just published - the second part of what he calls 'the chief artistic design of my life' - a history of revolutionary Russia which began with his book "August 1914". Solzhenitsyn talks to Robert Robinson about "Lenin in Zurich" in which he says his aim is to reconstitute the historical truth which has been cruelly and violently distorted in Russia. It is a book he has lived with for 40 years. He explains why he thinks Lenin, Stalin and Trotsky always kept their pseudonyms, and how the power of their slogans helped them to succeed. Solzhenitsyn talks, too, about his first awareness that he should be a writer and about his own reading.
