Brief Excerpt from the Late Alexander Solzhenitsyn's "Warning to the West"‏

"We are approaching a major turning point in world history, in the history of civilization. It's the sort of turning point where the hierarchy of values which we have venerated, and we use to determine what is important to us and what caused our hearts to beat is starting to rock and may collapse. These two crises, the political crisis of today's world and the oncoming spiritual crisis, are occuring at the same time. Your leaders will need profound intuition, spiritual foresight, high qualities of mind and soul. May God grant that in those times you will have at the helm personalities as great as those who created your country."

does alex sound like a grumpy old man down the pub on a Friday night, off loading from the week ?

I don't know of what time he wrote this, for all I know he might have written it in the 60's.

However, maybe at this time in our evolution, there is enough actually happening, the world having caught up with alex's views, to make what he wrote more relevent than it has ever been before.

i think it was the 50/60s
once again I say...
several texts/scriptures/theories , not just Nostradamus , suggest the period from now to 2012 is going to be pivotal to the world and its future.
Need to get our act together mate!
