FILE - Russian writer Alexander Solzhenitsyn, flanked by his wife Natalia, right, and his son Yermolai, left, addresses reporters and people on his arrival at Vladivostok Airport on May 27, 1994. Nobel Prize winner Alexander Solzhenitsyn returned to his native country after 20 years of exile. Gorbachev loosened up on the dreaded police state, which sowed fear through society, freed political prisoners such as Alexander Solzhenitsyn and Andrei Sakharov, and ended the Communist Party's monopoly on political power. Freer foreign travel, emigration and religious observance were also part of the mix. (AP Photo/Sergei Karpukhin, File)
