"To infer that the Soviet Terror is as hideous as Hitlerism is not only a brutal oversimplification but a moral indecency."
Thus said critic George Steiner in a 1974 review of Solzhenitsyn's Gulag Archipelago.
My question: Did Steiner express a great moral truth or did he reveal a great blind spot in the thinking of Western Left intellectuals?
