Solzhenitsyn had returned to Russia in 1994, following two decades in exile in the West.
Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin, who described Solzhenitsyn's death as "a heavy loss for the whole of Russia," is expected to attend the lying-in-state before travelling to Beijing for the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games.
One mourner, holding a copy of one of Solzhenitsyn's most famous texts and a bunch of white flowers, told Agence France Presse that the news of the writer's death had come as a shock.
HAVE YOUR SAY A Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich was the single book which showed me the power of literature to change the world
Philip Larmett, Kiev, Ukraine
Send us your comments"I came here because in the 1970s, I read this one little book that completely changed everything for me... When I heard the news yesterday, it was a terrible blow for me," said 64-year-old Sergei Aristarkhov.
News of the Nobel laureate's death prompted tributes in Russia and around the world.
Former Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev, who restored Solzhenitsyn's citizenship in 1990 and whose reforms helped end communism, said the writer had played a key role in undermining Stalin's totalitarian regime.
His works "changed the consciousness of millions of people", Mr Gorbachev said.
France's President Nicolas Sarkozy described him as "one of the greatest consciences of 20th-Century Russia" and praised his intransigence and ideals in the face of personal danger.
Prisoner, patient, writer
Solzhenitsyn served as a Soviet artillery officer in World War II and was decorated for his courage, but in 1945 was denounced for criticising Stalin in a letter.
He spent the next eight years in the Soviet prison system, or Gulag, before being internally exiled to Kazakhstan, where he was successfully treated for stomach cancer.
Publication in 1962 of the novella Denisovich, an account of a day in a Gulag prisoner's life, made him a celebrity during the post-Stalin political thaw.

Obituary
In pictures: Russia pays respects
However, within a decade, the writer awarded the 1970 Nobel Prize for Literature was out of favour again for his work, and was being harassed by the KGB secret police.
In 1973, the first of the three volumes of Archipelago, a detailed account of the systematic Soviet abuses from 1918 to 1956 in the vast network of its prison and labour camps, was published in the West.
Its publication sparked a furious backlash in the Soviet press, which denounced him as a traitor.
Early in 1974, the Soviet authorities stripped him of his citizenship and expelled him from the country.
He settled in Vermont, in the US, where he completed the other two volumes of Archipelago.
While living there as a recluse, he railed against what he saw as the moral corruption of the West.
Scathing of Boris Yeltsin's brand of democracy, he did not return to Russia immediately upon the collapse of the USSR in 1992, unlike other exiles, but made a dramatic homecoming in 1994.
