His father died in an accident six months before the birth of his son. In 1925, the family moved to Rostov-on-Don; there in 1936 Solzhenitsyn entered the physics and mathematics faculty of the university (graduated in 1941). The craving for mental independence and keen interest in the pre-revolutionary past of the family, in which they kept the memory of the former, unlike the Soviet, life, early led Solzhenitsyn to the idea of a large book (on the model of "War and Peace" L.). N. Tolstoy) about the First World War and the revolution, one of the heroes of which was the father of the writer . Literary plans led to the admission of Solzhenitsyn to the correspondence department of the Moscow Institute of Philosophy, Literature, History In October 1941 Solzhenitsyn was mobilized, went through the whole war, was awarded the Order of the Patriotic War of the 2nd degree and the Red Star. February 9, 1945 Solzhenitsyn was arrested for sharp anti-Stalinist statements in letters to a childhood friend N. Vitkevich; on July 27, he was sentenced to 8 years in labor camps. Since February 1953 Solzhenitsyn found himself at the "eternal exile settlement" in Kok-Terek aul (Jambul region, Kazakhstan) He was twice treated for cancer in Tashkent .. In February 1956 he was rehabilitated by the decision of the Supreme Court of the USSR, which gave him the opportunity to return to Russia: he settled in Ryazan and began to teach at school. In 1959 Solzhenitsyn in three weeks wrote a story "-854 (One day of one zak)", which two years later was included in the magazine "New World" to A. T. Tvardovsky and Tvardovsky obtained permission to publish it directly from N. C. Khruscheva . Thus was published the famous "One Day of Ivan Denisovich" ("New World", 1962, No. 11). Soon this story was nominated for the Lenin Prize, but met with vigorous opposition from the defenders of communism. After the removal of Khrushchev, the persecution of the writer began: in September 1965, the KGB seized the archive of Solzhenitsyn; there was practically no possibility of printing, and in November 1969 Solzhenitsyn was expelled from the Writers' Union. In 1970, the Nobel Committee awarded Solzhenitsyn its prize for his contribution to world literature, which caused a new wave of attacks and persecution in his homeland. In September 1973, the KGB discovered a cache with the manuscript of the Gulag Archipelago, after which Solzhenitsyn gave permission for the publication of the text to the Paris publishing house IMCA-Press. February 12, 1974 Solzhenitsyn was arrested, deprived of citizenship and the next day was deported to Germany In 1976, Solzhenitsyn moved to the United States and settled in solitude in a manor near the town of Cavendish in Vermont (hence his nickname "Vermont Recluse"). He was able to return to Russia only after perestroika: on August 16, 1990, by a decree of the President of the USSR, the writer was returned to citizenship, and on May 27, 1994, Solzhenitsyn returned home, traveling throughout the country, from the Far East to Moscow. In 1997 he was elected to the Russian Academy of Sciences .. The author died on August 3, 2008 in Moscow . He is buried in the cemetery of Donskoy Monastery .. Screenshot
