That city. Kromer Olga

“The City” is a story about how legends help to survive. As a secret place in the middle of the taiga, free from all regimes, saved not only people who dared to escape from the Gulag, but also those who decided to stay and just live. About half a century from the 1930s to the 1980s. This is not a strictly chronological description of the era, but a ball of several destinies, in the nucleus of which the history of the Gulag and the rehabilitation of memory - subjective, mythologized selectivity of memories and a subtle raid of legends of modern times. This is a text about the integral right to freedom of speech and hope.
