“Of course this is a very important year 1948. In this year, in the middle of it, I’ll also become a free man. And here, there are two points, listen carefully. Those who are released after their terms inside the USSR can go home on the next train. But here, in the Far East, the law is different. Here, after the release, only an invalid can go straight home: everybody else-now as free citizens-are kept here by the authorities to work in their field, under a contract, for 1-2 more years. An exception can be made only if a man gets a document from home, which proves that his family lives in poverty and needs its provider.”
