The book “grew” from a series of essays about life in a Belarusian prison, which were successfully published on an international news site and became a laureate of the 2018 literary competition in the “Literary basement named after the Master and Margarita” (FB). In "Notes" the author tried to describe life in the MLS as fully as possible: orders, traditions, life hacks - a lot, including the rather closed topic of sex. Attitudes to the work can be different, as well as to the inhabitants of prisons. But, while reading it, remember the phrase that one “stricter” told the author at the stage: “Don’t be afraid - there are people in prison too” ... and this is scary. This book is a participant in the literary award in the field of electronic and audiobooks “Electronic letter – 2019”.
