Journey into the Whirlwind by Eugenia Semyonovna Ginzburg

5.0

An excellent memoir of life in Stalin’s prison system. It doesn’t go into grotesque torture details (although there is indeed a time and place for truth to be brought into the light). This is a good and thoughtful read about the general conditions. Probably a good introduction for folks without deep background knowledge to see if they want to dig deeper.
