Exiled to Stalin''s Prisons

In this book, Pleysier and Vinogradov explore the question that millions of Soviet citizens asked themselves in the late 1930s and in the years after World War II-"Why have I been exiled to prison?" Through the stories of former prisoners, the reader will understand what it was like as a falsely imprisoned Soviet citizen.
