The searing accounts of Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, Evgeniia Ginsberg, and Varlam Shalamov opened the world's eyes to the terrors of the Soviet Gulag. But not until now has there been a memoir of life inside the camps written from the perspective of an actual employee of the Secret police. In this riveting memoir, superbly translated by Deborah Kaple, Fyodor Mochulsky describes being sent to work as a boss at the forced labor camp of Pechorlag in the frozen tundra north of the Arctic Circle.

No
What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?
I was quite naive to expect real stories from the Gulag Boss perspective.
In this book is very little about life in the “Zone”. Only the afterword, explain the way of thinking of author. You will never find the truth, from the person responsible for terror. He was one of the cog in the machine of terror. However, without those cogs, machine wouldn’t be able to run.
