Goodbye Solsynitsan

Late yesterday Famed Russian Novelist Alexander Solsynitsan died at the age of 89. He was born 1919 in the town of Rostov on the Don. Solsynitsan was best known for the trilogy of 1960's novels called the Gulag Archipelago. Basically it was the Prison Island. They were notorious Soviet labor camps. Gulag is Russian for prison. Solsynitsan won the nobel prize in literature for standing up to the Soviet union's belittling of the individual. He was a man of great moral conviction and will be sorely missed.
