Один день Ивана Денисовича
In arts, the liberalisation of all aspects of life starting from the Khrushchev Thaw created a possibility for the evolution of various forms of non-formal, underground and dissident art; still repressed, but no longer under the immediate threat of Gulag labor camps. Alexander Solzhenitsyn, who wrote the critical "One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich", was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature and subsequently exiled from the Soviet Union.
