The novel "The First Circle," which the author worked on from 1955 to 1958, was banned in the USSR and first published in the West, and later recognized as a classic of 20th-century Russian literature and served as the basis for G. Panfilov's remarkable television series of the same name. The title of the novel is an allegorical comparison of the sharashka with the hell from Dante's Divine Comedy. The central narrative is the ideological dispute between the novel's characters. All of them survived the war and the Gulag. Yet, one of them remained a staunch communist. The other, Nerzhin, is convinced of the corruption of the very foundations of the communist system. A former ardent supporter of the communist system himself, he experienced the complete collapse of his convictions. The conscious moral choice of Gleb Nerzhin, who preferred the paradoxical freedom of prison to the dubious happiness of the sharashka, is the leitmotif of the novel.
