Although permitted to publish \u003ci\u003eOne Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich\u003c\/i\u003e, Solzhenitsyn was expelled from the Writers' Union in 1969. The Western publication of his other novels, particularly \u003ci\u003eThe Gulag Archipelago\u003c\/i\u003e, brought retaliation: in 1974, Solzhenitsyn was stripped of his citizenship and forcibly flown to Frankfurt. In 1991, the Soviet government dismissed treason charges against him, and Solzhenitsyn returned to Russia in 1994.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 160\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.41 x 8.1 x 6.16 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e September 01, 1986\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45335958552678,"sku":"9780374513344","price":25.72,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0599\/7255\/0758\/files\/ZWF6VG0xc2dRWDAwWmhjS1JISERIUT09.webp?v=1774597767","url":"https:\/\/infinitylightwa.com\/products\/warning-to-the-west-paperback","provider":"Infinity Light","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
