In 1990, [Alexander Solzhenitsyn]'s essay, "How to Rebuild Russia," was published in the Soviet Union as a mass-circulation pamphlet. In 1994, he returned to his homeland to a hero's welcome. Sharply critical of Boris Yeltsin's policies, he turned down a state award in 1998, saying he could not accept it from "a government which has brought the country to its present state of ruin. [Vladimir Putin]'s Russia was hardly Solzhenitsyn's ideal; its rampant consumerism and kitschy pop culture far exceeded the Western materialism he deplored. And yet Putin's authoritarian regime appealed strongly to the writer. This was the sad paradox of Solzhenitsyn's final years.

That intoxicating mix of fear and exhilaration, of dread and anticipation, is an emotional state that Buffalo photographer Bradley Phillips is out to capture. Abolition of Man," an exhibition of Phillips' photographs, opens at 7 tonight in the Artspace Buffalo Gallery (1219 Main St.) and runs through Dec. 13. Phillips, who hails from Southern California, is a graduate student in the University at Buffalo's visual studies program. His images, he wrote in a statement, "narrate the search for the unknown." He goes on: "Seeking refuge from a virulent dystopia, the series is embedded with subversive skies and attempts to escape through them.

In 1943, in "The Abolition of Man," C.S. Lewis warned that not all scientific...
