About the book: 1991 / A. L. Voitolovskaya is one of the inhabitants of the notorious GULAG archipelago, which has densely spread its thorny networks on the territory of our republic. Difficult paths led her, a graduate student at LIFLI, in the mid-1930s, to the terrible business trips of Gray Mask and Kochmes. Not just her - thousands, hundreds of thousands from all over the country. Many years after her liberation, Voitolovskaya again mentally follows the footsteps of the fate of her generation, having begun to write memoirs during the Khrushchev Thaw. Literary critics put her journalism on a par with the books of Shalamov and Ginzburg, but also highlight a broad scientific view of the Stalinist “experiment” of the fight against his own people. The book is intended for the general reader
