I am absolutely speechless that Penguin allowed this word-salad to be published as an introduction to one of the most important books of the 20th Century.

Hm. I think Peterson's partial attribution of the victims of Stalinism to Marx is disingenuous, but Stalin's reign killed between 15M and 25M. I don't think that one can claim Solzhenitsyn for the left. His personal perspective "Men have forgotten God" was similar to Peterson's.

Who is claiming Solzhenitsyn for the left? This introduction is literally incoherent. Challenge (for fun): find three contradictions in Peterson’s text. You have three minutes. Go!
