There was a news story about a wooly mammoth discovered frozen in Siberia. The animal was so well-preserved that people ate the meat "with relish". The point of the news story was to show how intact the specimen was. Solzhenitsyn (and probably every other Russian who read it) saw in that statement the desperate hunger of the citizens who would eat thousands-of-years old meat.

I would not eat something like that if I didn't know what it was.
