Forced inhabitation. Steason plots. Zemtsov B.

Boris Zemtsov’s book talks about a Russian person in extreme conditions of captivity. The author does not bother the reader with “highly moral” instructions, does not “load” the personal experience of survival “behind the thorn and grille”, but is shared by what he saw and experienced. All his “personal impressions” are united by the belief that the Russian person in these “small -human” conditions can not only survive, but also become better. And not only believes, but also proves with real examples that the prison often becomes the donkey on which the character is being corrected. How to remain a man in these cruel millstones? How to preserve the ability to think, build, and compass your neighbor? These issues have always been relevant in Russian literature. They were placed by F. Dostoevsky, A. Chekhov, A. Solzhenitsyn, V. Shalamov. The book "Forced habitat" is another attempt to recall the eternal relevance of this topic.
