Cultural policy presented another dilemma for Khrushchev's regime. Stalinist-style rigidity clearly had to go, but what would replace it? Eager for greater openness and honesty in the arts and more attention to the individual, artists and intellectuals tested the limits of the possible. When Boris Pasternak's novel Doctor Zhivago, having been rejected by Soviet publications, was published abroad and won the Nobel Prize for literature in 1958, Khrushchev launched a bitter campaign against the writer. Pasternak, however, avoided punishment, an unimaginable outcome in Stalin's time. Then in 1962, Khrushchev oversaw a second "thaw." Stalin's corpse was removed from its place of honor in the Lenin mausoleum. A special commission prepared three volumes treating Stalin's crimes. "We must tell the truth about that period," declared Khrushchev. "Future generations will judge us, so let them know what conditions we had to work under, what sort of legacy we inherited."7 Khrushchev personally approved the publication of Alexander Solzhenitsyn's short novel One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovitch. Depicting the horrors of con-centration camp life as experienced by a simple peasant, Solzhenitsyn's work became a popular sensation.
