A.I. Solzhenitsyn’s Foreign Publications in Russian: to the 100th Birth Anniversary of the Writer

On December 11, 2018, it will be 100 years since the birth of A.I. Solzhenitsyn (1918—2008) — a Russian writer, dramatist, poet, public and political figure, Nobel laureate (literature, 1970). For  16 years, Solzhenitsyn’s creative activity was running abroad, where his earlier and new works were actively published. Against the background of the history of foreign publishers cooperating with A.I. Solzhenitsyn and the disclosure of the author’s creative ideas, this article gives an overview of foreign publications of A.I. Solzhenitsyn’s works in Russian (collected works, anthologies, publication of single works), by analyzing the materials of the bibliographical index “Solzhenitsyn’s Works Reflected in the Books of Russian Emigration: The Soviet Period”, compiled in 2018 by employees of the Bibliography Scientific-Research Department of the Russian State Library, and the electronic database of the Russian State Library “Books in Russian Published Abroad, 1927—1991”. Structurally, the article presents a chronological overview: each section covers a decade of creative and publishing activities, contains the statistics of publications in different countries, followed by a disclosure of each of those publications, mainly in chronological order, except in individual cases requiring a different logic of narration. There is also some contextual information on the publishers and publishing houses released Solzhenitsyn’s works.
