>MOSCOW (AP) -- Alexander Solzhenitsyn, the Russian writer and Nobel Peace
>Prize laureate, said Wednesday that NATO's bombardment of Yugoslavia was
>morally no different than Hitler's actions.
>
>
>"I don't see any difference in the behavior of NATO and of Hitler," he was
>quoted as saying by the Interfax news agency.
>
>
>"NATO wants to erect its own order in the world, and it needs Yugoslavia
>simply as an example: 'We'll punish Yugoslavia, and the whole rest of the
>planet will tremble,"' he told reporters.

>Solzhenitsyn spoke after being presented with the Lomonosov gold medal for
>his contribution to literature and history at Russia's Academy of
>Sciences. The academy had announced that it would give the medal to
>Solzhenitsyn in December, on the writer's 80th birthday.

>Solzhenitsyn was held in Soviet prison camps for eight years, and he
>turned his experiences into his life's work: books including "One Day in
>the Life of Ivan Denisovich" and the three-volume "Gulag Archipelago,"
>which chronicled the atrocities in the Soviet Union's prison camps.
>
>
>He was exiled from the Soviet Union in 1974 and returned to Russia only 20
>years later.
