The most talked-about author of our time spent a large part of his life in Soviet camps. He was recognized and became famous with the 1970 Nobel Prize. Official Soviet critics questioned his every value, after initially praising him. World critics called him "the new Dostoevsky" and "the Tolstoy of our time." Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn's work "One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich" was initially authorized for release in a special issue of the literary review "Novy Mir," with 95,000 copies, which sold out on the first day. It was then printed in newspaper format, in 700,000 copies, and when it was released as a book, with a print run of 100,000 copies, many Muscovites stood in line all night to get it in the morning when the bookstores opened. They knew it wouldn't be freely available for long.
