Review:
Dark. Holy fuck.
And this was only Volume 1.
A chilling first-hand account of life in the soviet prison industry system.
Man’s inhumanity to man, repeated ad nauseum.
Like a very long version of the author’s own One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovitch.
A lucid reminder to keep people like Trump out of power and consigned to the end notes of our history.
5 stars. Dark stars. Very dark stars.
This book made me want to: walk in the sunshine
