This memoir was written by the Russian scientist and historian of
literature, Dmitry Likhachev. It not only covers his life but also
includes a supplementary essay, written by him, giving his
perception of Russian people - their culture and history. A
prolific writer with strong views, Likhachev describes how his
ideologies caught the attention of the KGB and, shortly after
joining a furtive club of historians, led to his dramatic arrest
and confinement within the prison island of Solovky. He recalls his
story of imprisonment during the Stalin era and his chance survival
during the construction of the pointless Belomorkanal link between
the White and Baltic Seas. This book spans from the early twentieth
century up to perestroika and glasnost, when Mikhail Gorbachev
attempted to give political power to Likhachev.
