Bonus challenge accepted, blind mode—no peeking at comments, take my word.
“God” = the objectively present, difficult-to-disentangle historical trends of the West, and the memetic strains that caused those trends, chiefly Universalism and its Christianity section. So here, a Universalist culture has violated Universalism’s own naturally-evolved barriers and safety measures, and suffered for it by landing in a shallow circle of Hell. But Solzhenitsyn wasn’t very Universalist, I’d say—not like Zizek and Moldbug and yours truly take it—so he couldn’t see that Universalism can only stay alive while moving ever onwards and unfolding itself.
Also: this quote should be way way up there! And the Obamas of today shouldn’t be quoted so much—all is dust, and all will be dust. But history will sort its Right and Left… in due course.
