Video of Harvard Address now available with English subtitles
/Ever since we uploaded, in 2013, the complete video of Solzhenitsyn’s seminal Harvard Address, it has generated over 170,000 views, hundreds of positive comments, and a few negative ones. But also—a persistent clamor amongst viewers for a solution to the dual Russian/English audio that makes it difficult to make out individually the Russian-speaking voice of Solzhenitsyn and the English-speaking voice of his translator, Irina Alberti. While isolating these audio streams is a task beyond our technical means, we are delighted to offer readers/viewers, as a New Year’s gift, an excellent alternative: carefully arranged subtitles that allow English speakers to follow the address much more easily. We are immensely grateful to Mr James Hooghkirk, who generously volunteered his time and expertise to bring this improvement to fruition. Happy watching!
