#1 I contend that there is a reason the West has never seen the totality of his work translate into English Solzhenitsyn hated Jews..
While taking History of Science at the university I was told that over two-thirds of Sir Isaac Newton's works were ...pseudo-occult metaphysics. Newton was trying to use Calculus to define the 'Nature of the Divine', predict the future and other things. Most modern academics selectively recall his works on mathematics, optics and planetary motion because that is 'scientific'.

TL/DR: most Historical Figures have warts and blemishes -- they are humans too after all.
