This biography covers his time spent at war and in labor camps, his winning the Nobel Prize for Literature, and his expulsion from the USSR. Despite living abroad for 20 years, Solzhenitsyn never broke with his native land: soon after his triumphant return, he was again participating in public life, intently focused on how to further develop Russia. He often drew the fire of critics, but he still had great moral authority and was considered a living legend of contemporary Russian literature. In Russian.
