Solzhenitsyn, Aleksandr. The Gulag Archipelago, 1918-1956: An Experiment in Literary Investigation. Chapters from the Book (Arkhipelag GULAG) // Novy Mir, 1989, nos. 8-11, with the Nobel Lecture from no. 7 / text prepared by V. M. Borisov; prefaces by the editor-in-chief S. P. Zalygin.
Moscow: Izvestiya, 1989. No. 8, pp. 7-94; no. 9, pp. 68-165; no. 10, pp. 25-149; no. 11, pp. 63-175; no. 7, pp. 135-144 (Nobel Lecture). 25 x 16 cm.
Sheets of the journal stitched with thread in a homemade paper wrapper with a hand-lettered title. 
Whole leaves were taken, so pages by other authors remain at the edges. Poems on pp. 67 and 150 are crossed out in black ink, with a handwritten word "Arkhipelag" at the foot of p. 67. 
Binding - Fair: homemade paper wrapper with a water stain, rubbed and torn along the spine edge, which is reinforced with a strip of paper. Text block - Good: browned paper, scattered stains, a tear at the inner margin of p. 176.

In 1989 the journal Novy Mir, edited by Sergei Zalygin, did what Soviet censorship had prevented for more than fifteen years: it printed the work that had led to the author's expulsion from the country in February 1974. Solzhenitsyn completed The Gulag Archipelago in 1968, and its first volume appeared in Paris in December 1973. Its first publication in the Soviet Union came in the August to November issues of 1989 (nos. 8-11), as chapters from the book with the text prepared by V. M. Borisov, preceded by the Nobel Lecture in no. 7, which was also printed in the USSR for the first time. The journal ran to roughly 1.6 million copies an issue, so the complete issues are not scarce. This item is something different: a reader took the sheets containing the Solzhenitsyn text and the Nobel Lecture out of five issues, sewed them together with thread, and made a paper wrapper with the title lettered by hand. The owner's markings, such as the crossed-out poetry pages by other authors and the pencil underlining in the chapter on the first revolutionary tribunals, show that the volume was put together as a personal reading copy of the book rather than of the magazine. It is a document of how the first Soviet readers received the text, not a publisher's edition. It will appeal to collectors of Solzhenitsyn, of the literature of glasnost and the memory of the camps, and of Soviet periodicals and homemade bindings.
