The memoirs of Tamara Petkevich, along with the works of Varlam Shalamov, Euphrosyne Kersnovskaya, Eugenia Ginzburg and many others, occupy a solid place in the series of works that captured the “single human discharge of slops, kindness, cruelty, atrocities and defenselessness” and forever marked the coordinates of the “camp” theme on the map of Russian literature of the 20th century. A young, fragile, gentle, stunningly beautiful woman had to drink in full from the cup of suffering that fell to the lot of innocent victims of political repression; she experienced backbreaking labor, humiliation, hunger and cold, which turn prisoners into hunted animals. At the same time, the camp years became for the author not only a science of survival in inhuman conditions. The fate of Tamara Petkevich is worthy of a gripping novel, which combines love, betrayal, jealousy, separation, friendship, meetings with amazing people, the joy of motherhood and the pain of loss - everything that defines the exciting fullness of human life despite the ugliness of the terrible laws of the camp and the tyranny of its gods and deities.
