7000 days in the Gulag. Steiner K.

You are the Austrian’s memoirs of Karl Steiner, who spent 20 years on the islands of the Gulag archipelago (Butyrka, Lefortovo, Alexander Central, Solovki, Norillag and Ozerlag).

He began to serve his term with his sister Henry Berry, finished with the relatives of Lavrenty Beria, having experienced all the horrors of repression and political violence.

"In the NKVD prisons, in the ice deserts of the Far North, Everywhere, where my suffering exceeded the human measure and the border of patience, I wore one single desire in myself - to transfer all this and tell the whole world and, above all, to my party and friends comrades, about how we survived these horrors...

I rarely went into the analysis and comments of events. I wanted to describe bare facts first of all. And let the reader perform his court himself. "
