Summary |
An English junior stock broker visiting Russia for a series of business meetings in 2003 is arrested at the Moscow airport with a small bit of hash he'd forgotten in a trouser pocket. Thus begins Hague's nearly two-year journey through a Russian penal system that seems little changed from Iron Curtain days. After a brief trial, Hague is dispatched to Zone 22, a labor camp in the frigid plains of Mordovia, where he suffers from malnutrition, infections, and physical and psychological torture at the hands of brutal prison guards. |
