And suddenly-there was my name, and, as if it was alive, your handwriting." In 1946, after five years as a prisoner-first as a Soviet POW in Nazi concentration camps, then as a deportee (falsely accused of treason) in the Arctic Gulag-twenty-nine-year-old Lev Mishchenko unexpectedly received a letter from Sveta, the sweetheart he had hardly dared hope was still alive. Amazingly, over the next eight years the lovers managed to exchange more than 1,500 messages, and even to smuggle Sveta herself into the camp for secret meetings. Their recently discovered correspondence is the only known real-time record of life in Stalin's Gulag, unmediated and uncensored. Orlando Figes, author of Natasha's Dance, draws on Lev and Sveta's letters as well as KGB archives and recent interviews to brilliantly reconstruct the broader world in which their story unfolded. With the powerful narrative drive of a novel, Just Send Me Word reveals a passion and endurance that triumphed over the tragic forces of history. 538 Mode of access: World Wide Web. 600 10 Mishchenko, Lev|xImprisonment. 600 10 Mishchenko, Lev|vCorrespondence. 600 10 Mishchenko, Svetlana. 600 10 Mishchenko, Svetlana|vCorrespondence. 650 0 Political prisoners|zRussia (Federation)|zPechora (Komi) 650 0 Political prisoners|zRussia (Federation)|zPechora (Komi) |vCorrespondence. 650 0 Fiancées|zSoviet Union. 650 0 Fiancées|zSoviet Union|vCorrespondence. 650 0 Labor camps|zRussia (Federation)|zPechora (Komi) 650 0 Imprisonment|zSoviet Union. 700 1 Langton, James.|4nrt 710 2 hoopla digital. 856 40 |uhttps://www.hoopladigital.com/title/ 11359313?utm_source=MARC|zInstantly available on hoopla. 856 42 |zCover image|uhttps://d2snwnmzyr8jue.cloudfront.net/ ttm_9781452628004_180.jpeg
