Russian writer and Nobel Laureate Alexandr Solzhenitsyn (1918-2008) delivers his commencement speech entitled 'A World Split Apart' at Harvard University, June 8, 1978. In the context of the Cold War, Solzhenitsyn identifies a world split between the two world powers (the US and Russia), both capable of destroying the other. He highlights the dangers of an autonomous world, especially one dominated by western thought, incapable of understanding Russia and blinded by superiority.
