This book is a description of the development of the personality of a sixteen-year-old boy who ended up in prison. From “youngsters” to “adults”, from Moscow “Petrovka 38” to the notorious penal colony of the city of Engels. Torture, frost and hunger - the book reflects all the hardships that the author went through in the two thousand years. For the first time, in many years after his release, the author decided to lift the burden of memory from his shoulders and talk about the trials that he had to go through. Without embellishment and falsehood, without hypocrisy and lies. Just the harsh truth about prison life, whatever it may be. Contains obscene language.
