Author
Author Bio: Aleksandr I. Solzhenitsyn
After serving as a decorated captain in the Soviet Army during World War II, Aleksandr I. Solzhenitsyn (1918–2008) was sentenced to prison for eight years for criticizing Stalin and the Soviet government in private letters. Solzhenitsyn vaulted from unknown schoolteacher to internationally famous writer in 1962 with the publication of his novella One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich; he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1968. The writer’s increasingly vocal opposition to the regime resulted in another arrest, a charge of treason, and expulsion from the USSR in 1974.
