This from The Moscow Times today:
Natalya Solzhenitsyn, Alexander Solzhenitsyn's widow, has cut his landmark book “The Gulag Archipelago” by 80 percent to fit Russian school curriculum according to an interview published December 10th in Nezavisimaya Gazeta.
She said she condensed the three-volume work at the request of her late husband, and the project started last summer.
The shortened version of the 64-chapter (672 pages in the English version) “The Gulag Archipelago” (about 135 pages in Russian) will become compulsory reading in high school literature classes.
