 V. Pospelov

“While in the camp almost all of my closest comrades thought, as I did, that if ever GOD allowed us to leave the camp alive, we would not live in towns, or even in villages, but somewhere in the depths of the forest. We would find work as foresters, rangers, or failing that, as herdsmen, and stay as far away as we could from people, politics, and all the snares and delusions of the world.” -(page 446)

Aleksandr Solzhenytsin described that individuals who were sent to gulag got used to their life in gulag. Viktor E. Frankl described that it is normal for a human being to get used to things. Viktor E. Frankl described how individuals in concentration camps were able to persevere despite their circumstances because of their faith and having meaning and purpose in the worship of GOD Almighty. Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn described that faithful individual's zeal allowed them to persevere through the envy and persecution in gulag. When they were released, the righteous individuals were able to appreciate their freedom. Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn described that individuals that were in gulag and completed their sentence, were able to obtain freedom. Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn described that individuals that survived gulag were exiled to another Soviet nation so that they did not preach truth in Soviet Russia.

Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn described that righteous individuals that were freed and lived in exile were grateful to survive gulag and wanted nothing to do with socialism and informants. We learn that V. Pospelov was freed from gulag and wanted to be as far away as possible from socialists and informants. This was because the righteous had seen the manner that socialism is a farce and does not look to help anyone. We learn that the Soviet Bolshevik socialists would call zealous Christians “politicals” being that they trusted in GOD Almighty. This was because the Soviet socialists did not want pacifism and righteousness instructed in the Soviet Union. The Soviet Bolsheviks called believers “politicals” being that most did not want to know anything about the politics of socialism.

V. Pospelov described that he wanted to be far from the snares and delusions of the world meaning being far apart from the cares of the world and temptation. We learn that some of the exiles did not care about material possessions seeing how there was a lot of theft and coveting in the Soviet Union. Instead they preferred living in harmony and worshiping GOD Almighty above everything. Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn described that the righteous that survived gulag were mighty individuals that were optimists and bold. While going through persecution and the worst, they were able to persevere with their zealous confidence in GOD Almighty.

V. Pospelov kept faith trusting in GOD Almighty and acknowledged that if GOD Almighty allowed him to be freed from gulag, he would live far apart from socialists and informants. Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn described that even after going through the difficulties of persecution because of envious socialists, they did not hate humanity understanding that not all individuals are evil. We know that Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn described that exiles understood that there was the need to obey the commandments of Moses and keep faith in GOD Almighty while being far apart from lying and envious socialists.
