The searing accounts of Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, Evgeniia Ginsberg, and Varlam Shalamov opened the world’s eyes to the terrors of the Soviet Gulag. But not until now has there been a memoir of life inside the camps written from the perspective of an actual employee of the Secret police. In this riveting memoir, superbly translated by Deborah Kaple, Fyodor Mochulsky describes being sent to work as a boss at the forced labor camp of Pechorlag in the frozen tundra north of the Arctic Circle.
Only 22 years old, he had but a vague idea of the true nature of the Gulag. What he discovered was a world of unimaginable suffering and death, a world where men were starved, beaten, worked to death, or simply executed. Mochulsky details the horrific conditions in the camps and the challenges facing all those involved, from prisoners to guards. He depicts the power struggles within the camps between the secret police and the communist party, between the political prisoners (most of whom had been arrested for the generic crime of “counter-revolutionary activities”) and the criminal convicts. And because Mochulsky writes of what he witnessed with the detachment of the engineer that he was, readers can easily understand how a system that destroyed millions of lives could be run by ordinary Soviet citizens who believed they were advancing the cause of socialism.
Mochulsky remained a communist party member his entire life - he would later become a diplomat - but was deeply troubled by the gap between socialist theory and the Soviet reality of slave labor and mass murder. This unprecedented memoir takes readers into that reality and sheds new light on one of the most harrowing tragedies of the 20th century.

Looks interesting. Thanks.

The sample was enough to know the narration is terrible, jarring American mispronunciation such as “the gularg”. Thanks but no thanks!

The memoir was so and so. This guy lived his life as if the stuff that was happening there was somehow normal when it was in fact absolutely horrific.
But the narration was a complete turn off. Why on earth do narrators feel the need to ruin a book by attempting to read it in English with an imagined Russian accent? It’s condescending, in poor taste, ruins the whole thing and the narrator assigns imaginary treats to the characters. It sounds like all characters are meagre and begging all the time.
Nevermind the fact that I haven’t met a single Russian in my entire life that speaks English like that and the fact that there’s no need to use an accent in the first place.
Lame stuff from Audible.
