520    "Originally written in a couple of humble exercise books, 
       which were anonymously donated to the Memorial Human 
       Rights Centre in Moscow, this remarkable diary is one of 
       the few first-person accounts to survive the sprawling 
       Soviet prison system. At the back of these exercise books 
       there is a blurred snapshot and a note, "Chistyakov, Ivan 
       Petrovich, repressed in 1937-38. Killed at the front in 
       Tula Province in 1941." This is all that remains of Ivan 
       Chistyakov, a senior guard at the Baikal Amur Corrective 
       Labour Camp. Who was this lost man? How did he end up in 
       the gulag? Though a guard, he is a type of prisoner, too. 
       We learn that he is a cultured and urbane ex-city dweller 
       with a secret nostalgia for pre-Revolutionary Russia. In 
       this diary, Chistyakov does not just record his life in 
       the camp, he narrates it. He is a sharp-eyed witness and a
       sympathetic, humane, and broken man. From stumblingly 
       poetic musings on the bitter landscape of the taiga to 
       matter-of-fact grumbles about the inefficiency of his 
       stove, from accounts of the brutal conditions of the camp 
       to reflections on the cruelty of loneliness, this diary is
       an astonishing record--a visceral and immediate 
       description of a place and time whose repercussions still 
       affect the shape of modern Russia, and modern Europe"--
