Russian literary giant, Alexander Solzhenitsyn, who revealed the horror of Stalin's brutal labour camps to the world in his writings and spent 20 years in exile, has died near Moscow.
The author of "One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich" and "Gulag Archipelago", who made a hero's return to Russia in 1994, died of heart failure, though some reports suggest the Nobel Prize winning writer succumbed to a stroke. He'd been in ill health for years.
