Story about a man who wanted to die at home: Based on a true story - Paperback

by Martynas Čeledinas (Author)

This is a true story about a man, who survived the Soviet gulags, went through hell on earth in Siberia and returned home after Stalin's death on March 5, 1953. The story tells of his life in the gulag, his journey home, the impossible struggle and the will to survive the most horrible conditions imaginable. It is a story of hope and the victory of one man against the whole system of oppression and dehumanization. It's a true story of the fate of millions of Lithuanian, Latvian, Estonian, Polish, Belarusian, Ukrainian and Russian people. The Soviet machine sent doctors, teachers, writers, professors and anyone else who opposed their regime to the outskirts of the Siberian forests and wilderness. It's a story about those people. It's also a story of victory as the oppressor was defeated and the Soviet Union collapsed on the 26 December 1991.
