Trapped

Vladimir Markovich Sanin (1929–1989) wrote about people who chose a difficult and dangerous road in life—about polar explorers, firemen, travelers.

And he himself belonged to that same restless human type: a very young Sanin managed to take part in the Great Patriotic War; after the war he graduated from the economics department of Moscow State University, worked for a newspaper, became a writer, and more than once went beyond the Arctic Circle, in the Arctic and Antarctica.

The plots of his works are often based on real events, develop in non-trivial circumstances and closed communities (such as a ship’s crew or an avalanche station).
