Winner of FIPA d'Or, Prix Images et Cultures, RTS, World Television Prize and BAFTA nominated.
As something of a niche subject for a mainstream channel, this documentary didn't attract a large audience to BBC1, with just 1.9 million viewers tuning in.
The documentary was rescreened on 18th August 2008 in tribute after Solzhenitsyn's death, this time on the minority channel BBC2. This repeat failed to make the BBC2 Top 30, with the 30th most-watched programme on the channel that week having an audience of 1.56 million.
