Alexander Isayevich Solzhenitsyn, Russian author, 1974
Alexander Isayevich Solzhenitsyn, Russian author, 1974. Solzhenitsyns (1918-2008) novels were instrumental in raising global awareness of the Soviet system of forced labour camps, the Gulag. He spent 8 years in the camps himself from 1945 until 1953 after being found guilty of anti-Soviet propaganda for writing letters critical of Stalins conduct of the Second World War. He was exonerated in 1956 under the Khrushchev regime, but after Khrushchev was ousted from power in 1964 his works were suppressed by the authorities. In 1974 Solzhenitsyn was stripped of his citizenship and deported from the Soviet Union. His citizenship was restored in 1990 and he returned to live in Russia four years later. In 1970 he was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature. Found in the collection of the State Central Museum of Contemporary History of Russia, Moscow

EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful print captures the essence of Alexander Isayevich Solzhenitsyn, a Russian author whose works shed light on the harsh realities of the Soviet system. Solzhenitsyn's novels played a crucial role in exposing the atrocities of the Gulag forced labor camps, where he himself spent eight years as a prisoner.
Despite facing persecution and exile for his dissenting views, Solzhenitsyn remained steadfast in his commitment to speaking out against injustice. In 1974, he was stripped of his citizenship and deported from the Soviet Union, yet he continued to advocate for human rights and freedom of expression.
Awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1970, Solzhenitsyn's legacy as a writer and dissident remains unparalleled. His unwavering courage in confronting oppressive regimes serves as an inspiration to all who value truth and integrity.
This portrait captures Solzhenitsyn's piercing gaze and determined expression, reflecting both his resilience in the face of adversity and his unwavering dedication to speaking truth to power. As we reflect on his life and work, we are reminded of the enduring importance of standing up for justice and defending fundamental human rights.
