  The general solution of the gravitational field equations for a full causal
bulk viscous stiff cosmological fluid, with bulk viscosity coefficient
proportional to the energy density to the power 1/4, is obtained in the flat
Friedmann-Robertson-Walker geometry. The solution describes a non-inflationary
Universe, which starts its evolution from a singular state. The time variation
of the scale factor, deceleration parameter, viscous pressure, viscous
pressure-thermodynamic pressure ratio, comoving entropy and Ricci and
Kretschmann invariants is considered in detail.
