Description
Severko Malsagov, a former officer of the Tsar’s army and later the volunteer army, was among the first (in 1925) to make a daring escape from the Special Purpose Solovetsky Camp (SLON), later crossing beyond the borders of the Soviet Union as well. In 1926, his book titled “Hell Islands. The Soviet Prison in the Far North” was published in London in English. It was perhaps one of the first documentary accounts of the existence of the “cancerous tumor” (the Gulag) on the body of a young Soviet state. The metastases of the Gulag had only just begun to spread, and S. Malsagov managed to see the danger that the camp system being created by Soviet power held in itself. And he rang the alarm.
The book literally shook Western readers. Long before the appearance of memoirs by A. Solzhenitsyn, V. Shalamov, L. Razgon, and other prisoners of Stalin’s camps, Malsagov told the world about the monstrous conditions in which people were held in Soviet camps.
