	The Theme of Hope in One Day in the life of Ivan Denisovich (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Solzhenitsyn wrote One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich in such a fashion that the brutality of the Soviet labor camps is not emphasized.
		For Ivan Denisovich Shukhov this meant doing anything from sewing someone a cover for his mittens out of a piece of old lining to bringing one of the big gang bosses his dry felt boots while he was still in his bunk.
		Apart from the hopefulness of Ivan Denisovich and his good-natured, peasant cunning, ^Ówe feel in him a man of goodwill whose spirit is not filled with bitterness, despite the crying injustice of his punishment and despite, too, the inhuman conditions of life in the so-called corrective labor camp^Ô (Levitzky 3300).

		Ivan is no fiery revolutionary; he is a victim of terrible circumstances.
		Ivan's triumphs on this "happy" day in the camp are so small that they might escape notice in the "free" world.
		Ivan may seem to be working for "the big man" in this novel, but it is his foreman and his work gang to whom he gives all of his loyalty and for whom he labors so hard.

	GradeSaver: ClassicNote: About One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich
		Therefore, the decades preceding the publication of Solzhenitsyn's first short novel, One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich, consisted primarily of socialist realist literature designed to serve as Communist propaganda, through optimistic and positive depictions of workers' contentment on collective farms and in government factories.
		Though Ivan Denisovich Shukhov, the protagonist of One Day, rather than an intellectual like the university-educated Solzhenitsyn, his experiences and those of other characters in the book are most certainly based upon Solzhenitsyn's own life in the prison camps.
		One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich appeared in the November 1962 edition of Novy Mir.

		The simply told story of a typical, grueling day of the titular character's life in a labor camp in Siberia, is a modern classic of Russian literature and quickly cemented Solzhenitsyn's international reputation upon publication in 1962.
		Unlike the mammoth Archipelago, which documents the evil prison camp system of the Soviets, this is an intimate story of just one man, Ivan Denisovitch, who is sent to the impossibly harsh camp because he returned as a prisoner-of-war and was thus by definition, a traitor.
		Were it merely the grim testimonial to life in the Soviet Gulags or a witness to infringed liberties, its force would be staggering.
