Sure, Solzhenitsyn was a fascist sympathizer in his later years. So as an alternative, I offer Kolyma Tales by Varlam Shalamov whose only sus thing was to say that the German army was effective for which he got ten years in a gulag which I think is pretty harsh for a statement like that. https://ia600707.us.archive.org/3/items/kolymatales/Kolyma%20Tales%20by%20Varlan%20Shalanov.pdf
