Alexander Isaevich Solzhenitsyn – a Russian prose writer, playwright, publicist, poet, and public and political figure. Alexander Isaevich Solzhenitsyn was born in Kislovodsk and in 1924 moved with his family to Rostov-on-Don, where he received his secondary education. In 1936 Solzhenitsyn entered Rostov University, which he graduated from with honors in 1941.
During the Great Patriotic War he served in artillery reconnaissance and was awarded orders. In 1945 Solzhenitsyn was arrested and sentenced to a long term of imprisonment, after which he was exiled to Kazakhstan. There he taught and underwent treatment for cancer. In 1956 he returned to Russia.
After the publication of his works, Solzhenitsyn was persecuted by the Soviet authorities. His archive was confiscated, he was prohibited from publishing, and ultimately he was expelled from the country after the publication of the work "The Gulag Archipelago", which recounts the repressions in the USSR from 1918 to 1956. Solzhenitsyn returned to Russia in 1994 and continued his literary work until his death. Alexander Isaevich Solzhenitsyn died of heart failure on August 3, 2008, at his home in Troitsa-Lykovo.
