Cool route

“The Cool Route” Eugene Ginzburg began in the terrible 1937, she was a little more than thirty, and ended, like many, only after Stalin’s death. Eighteen years of captivity - a prison, a camp, a link, a prison again... Three -year -old son Vasya, future writer Vasily Aksyonov, “met” his mother already a teenager, in Magadan, between her two arrests.

In 1957, Evgenia Semenovna began work on a book of memoirs, which was first published abroad, and in 1988 and in the USSR. “Chronicle of the time of the cult of personality” became one of the main works about the Stalinist camps, and the first - documentary, written by a woman.
