ABSTRACT
As the political struggle between the two main factions in the Party and the corresponding literary camps continued, there was no way in which Solzhenitsyn could keep out of it. Only a Nuremberg-style trial could deal with the enormity of the crimes committed against the innocent Soviet population, and since Khrushchev had no intention of going that far, he was bound to twist and turn in drawing the line. Three months later Solzhenitsyn went to visit Lebedev for a third and last time, and Lebedev expanded on what was wrong with The Tenderfoot and the Tart. What Solzhenitsyn had failed to do, he said, was to show that some people had been successfully re-educated in the camps. Lebedev showed Solzhenitsyn his albums of photographs of the famous, including many authors, as well as Khrushchev, Gromyko, and other bigwigs on foreign tours, and insisted on photographing Solzhenitsyn so that he could take his place in the album too.
