SOLZHENITSYN SETS DATE TO END EXILE

MOSCOW -- Alexander Solzhenitsyn will end his 20-year exile on May 27 and traverse Russia from east to west to reacquaint himself with his homeland, his wife said yesterday. Natalia Solzhenitsyn said in a statement that the couple and their three sons would fly to the eastern Russian city of Vladivostok from Anchorage and work their way westward to Moscow. She gave no other details of their itinerary. Solzhenitsyn, awarded the 1970 Nobel Prize in Literature, has long planned to return to Russia from his adopted home in Cavendish, Vt., but this was the first public word on the exact date. Solzhenitsyn, 75, whose works depict the grim workings of the Soviet police state, was expelled from the Soviet Union on treason charges on Feb. 13, 1974, handcuffed and surrounded by KGB agents.
