Solzhenitsyn ends historic 56 day railway trek across Russia
Alexander Solzhenitsyn, 75, returns to Moscow after a 5000 mile journey from Vladivostok, watched by a nation with mixed reading habits. President Yeltsin welcomed him as a cultural event while polls show many Russians have not read his work, though 36 percent claim to have read Gulag Archipelago. He traveled in a special railroad car with family and a BBC crew, reflecting on Russia's rebirth and the gap between legacy and everyday life.
