J. Brodsky - legal status in Russia

[Henry Gould]

I am curious about poet Joseph Brodsky's current legal status in Russia
and would be grateful for any information.  As I understand it, he was
forced into exile over 25 years ago by the former Soviet gov't.  Has
this legal ruling ever been formally annulled or revoked?  Has Brodsky
ever been invited to return (or visit) by the Russian government?
Brodsky may have no interest in doing so at this point, of course.

Please respond directly to: Henry_Gould at brown.edu - and thank you all.
