At first glance, the memories of the Norilchan, Vladimir Poluektov, impress incompleteness: as if we have before us episodes of life saturated with dramatic events, prepared for the future narrative. But reading in them, you are convinced that the incompleteness is imaginary – all the main thing is said.
It is impossible not to note the amazing luck of the author, as if someone retains it, as if he was protected from above. It is enough to recall the death of American climbers in the mountains of the Caucasus. The half -ects had to go with them, but stayed in Moscow – never cold, he suddenly fell ill with a heavy form of tonsillitis. Or other cases – when he was almost crippled, they almost shot …
Notes of a descendant of the ancient kind of semi -ectov recreate the picture of the Gulag, Bolshevik industrialization, clearly reflect the depreciation of human life, unprecedented and under serfdom. At the same time, most of the characters of the book are talented, worthy people. Their collective portrait leaves hope for the future.
