| Awarding the prize to Pamuk was "the best decision the Nobel Prize committee has taken for years," opined Germany's Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung the same day, likening it to 1970's Nobel Prize to the Soviet dissident author Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn. As Solzhenitsyn has pointed out, we are eager to locate evil in the other, but the line between good and evil runs through each of our hearts. In January 1974, the month when Solzhenitsyn was arrested and deported from the USSR, Tatyana Velikanova, Sergei Kovalev and Tatyana Khodorovich confronted this blackmail in an open letter, making it an explicit principle never to bargain with the authorities on such a basis. |
