The Alexander Solzhenitsyn House of Russian Abroad is a unique complex that combines the functions of a museum, archive, library, research, information, publishing and cultural and educational center. His main activity is devoted to the historical phenomenon of the Russian diaspora and strengthening ties with compatriots outside of Russia.

By status and in essence, the House is a museum-archive of foreign Russia. Household items, works of art, documents, manuscripts, book collections, photographs, films have a memorial meaning and are a valuable source of information and knowledge about the history and life of the emigration, and to a significant extent - about the pre-revolutionary and post-revolutionary periods of the country. The museum collection contains over 18 thousand storage units. The House's funds are growing and formed through numerous gifts from Russian people scattered throughout the world.

Like the museum-archive, the House's library collection is of significant historical and cultural value. It contains over 75 thousand items, a significant part of which are emigration publications, representing an array of publishing products from the Russian diaspora, especially books, almanacs, and magazines.

On May 28, 2019, the Museum of Russian Abroad was opened in a new four-story building with a permanent exhibition “Russian Abroad. Paths and destinies." This is the first museum project in Russia dedicated to the history of Russian emigration and the rich cultural heritage of our compatriots abroad. Through vivid phenomena, stories and destinies of individual people, the visitor will be able to comprehend the phenomenon as a whole, piece together the complex picture of Russian dispersion and understand its main mission: “We are not in exile, we are in the message” (Zinaida Gippius).

The history of the Russian diaspora is presented in the museum primarily by the post-revolutionary wave of Russian emigration. It was the “first wave” that became the largest and most complete in the history of the twentieth century; it was from this that the drama of the forced expulsion of millions of compatriots from their homeland and the heroic story of the reconstruction of Russia outside of Russia began. How did our compatriots comprehend tectonic disruptions in world history? How did you preserve your national, spiritual and cultural identity? How did Russian emigrants build a dialogue among themselves and with other countries? What contribution has foreign Russia made to world culture? The Museum of Russian Abroad is designed to answer these and many other questions.

The most important component of the activities of the House of Russian Abroad is research work aimed at studying the historical fate and diverse heritage of the Russian world abroad, and above all, post-October emigration. The structure of the House includes the film studio and film club "Russian Way", the publishing house "Russian Way", as well as, as a branch, the Memorial Museum-Apartment of A.I. Solzhenitsyn, located at the historical address in Moscow: st. Tverskaya, 12 building 8, where A.I. lived. Solzhenitsyn with his family before his expulsion from the USSR.

The Alexander Solzhenitsyn Literary Prize is awarded annually at the House of Russian Abroad.

Alexander Isaevich Solzhenitsyn is a famous Russian writer, playwright, poet, public and political figure. He lived and worked in Russia, Switzerland and the USA. He was not published in Russia for a long time; his books were banned. It was only after the collapse of the USSR that his most famous book, “The Gulag Archipelago,” became available. For many years he opposed communism and the policies of the USSR, which is why he was classified as a dissident.

A. Solzhenitsyn was the main founder of the House of Russian Abroad, which is engaged in researching the life and activities of Russian people abroad, collecting, preserving, processing archival documents, analyzing and increasing journal and book collections, and education. In 1990, a book exhibition was organized, at which the famous Russian foreign publishing house “YMCA-Press” was presented. For the first time during the years of Soviet power, it became possible to openly buy books by previously banned writers, poets, philosophers, theologians and politicians. This was the reason for the enormous popularity of the exhibition and the subsequent opening of the YMCA-Press branch in Moscow. As a result of the increase in the area of activity, the need arose to organize a Moscow center.

Currently, the House of Russian Abroad works in the areas of literature on religion and philosophy, the history of folk and political movements, military emigration, the study of modern religious and public organizations, economic changes, and the study of the media.

A group of famous scientists and researchers of Russian culture abroad works at the House of Russian Abroad, holds seminars, forums and conferences, and organizes exhibitions and expositions. The center has a library that allows you to obtain free information from the fund using the latest information retrieval systems.

Moscow Solzhenitsyn

In 2008, a street in the Tagansky district of Moscow was named after Alexander Solzhenitsyn. It runs from Taganskaya to Andronevskaya Square. Until 1919, the street was called Bolshaya Alekseevskaya, and from 1924 to 2008 - Bolshaya Kommunisticheskaya.

It is planned to erect a monument to the writer on Alexander Solzhenitsyn Street. A team of authors is working on it under the leadership of People's Artist of Russia, sculptor Andrei Kovalchuk.

On December 11, 2017, a memorial plaque was installed on the house at the address: Tverskaya Street, building 12, building 8. The writer lived and worked in this house for more than 10 years - in 1970-1974 and from 1994 to 2002. At the same address they are now building a museum-apartment for Alexander Solzhenitsyn. Its architectural appearance - layout, floor, doors, windows, window sills, stucco on the ceiling and household lighting - is recreated for the period of 1974, the year the writer was expelled from the USSR.
