Alexander Issaiévich Soljenítsin foi um escritor, dramaturgo e historiador russo. Preso político do regime comunista soviético, suas obras revelaram ao mundo as atrocidades cometidas nos gulags, campos de concentração com trabalhos forçados existente na antiga União Soviética. Pela sua obra "Arquipélago Gulag" Soljenítsin recebeu o prêmio Nobel de Literatura de 1970. E devido à censura e perseguição política sofrida na União Soviética pelo seu trabalho a respeito do esmagamento da liberdade individual pelo Estado omnipresente e totalitário, Soljenítsin foi expulso da União Soviética e teve sua nacionalidade cassada em 1974.
