RUSSIA-LITERATURE-PEOPLE-POLITICS-SOLZHENITSYN
Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin embraces Natalya Solzhenitsyna, the widow of Russian author and dissident Alexander Solzhenitsyn during his wake in Moscow on August 5, 2008. Solzhenitsyn's family can be seen in the foreground. Russians paid their last respects at a lying-in-state for Alexander Solzhenitsyn, a dissident writer who challenged the Soviet Union but was largely forgotten by a younger generation. Mostly elderly mourners filed past Solzhenitsyn's open coffin at the Russian Academy of Sciences in Moscow laying flowers and crossing themselves before one of Russia's last literary legends, who died on August 3, 2008 aged 89.
