Solzhenitsyn-legacy

The most complete 30-volume edition of Solzhenitsyn's collected works is

soon to be published in Russia. The presentation of its first three volumes,
already in print, recently took place in Moscow. Unhappy with the
economic and social malaise of the Yeltsin era, Solzhenitsyn expressed his
admiration for President Vladimir Putin's attempts to restore a sense of
national pride in Russia. Putin signed a decree conferring on Solzhenitsyn
the State Prize of the Russian Federation for his humanitarian work and
personally visited the writer at his home on 12 June 2007 to present him
with the award.

Solzhenitsyn continues to be met with controversy in Russia. In February
2010, young left-wing activists in Moscow organized protests against
measures by the government in renaming the Great Communist Street in
Moscow in honor of Solzhenitsyn. The protesters cited the activities and
literature of Solzhenitsyn for their position.
