This book is a typical example of biographical prose, and there is nothing fictional within it. It is the confession of a former prisoner who spent 20 years in the most brutal Ukrainian penal colonies and endured the most horrific forms of torture. Yet, the author did not break; he remained human and noble, holding fast to his own concepts of honour, dignity, and justice. Above all, he wrote this book to reveal the abuses to which prisoners are subjected, to put an end to torture, and to bring those responsible to justice.
