Chapter 44 Chapter 13 Hand over another layer of skin!

I have already beheaded once, can I do it again?can.A layer of skin has already been peeled off from a person, can another layer be peeled off?can! This was all invented in our labor camps.It was all conceived in the archipelago!Stop saying that homework classes are the only contribution to world punishment.Isn't re-sentencing in labor camps a contribution?The various streams of water rolling in from the outside did not calm down after reaching the islands, and did not flow endlessly, but were drawn into the pipeline for re-interrogation. Regardless of the ruthless tyrannical rule, the autocratic regime, or the most barbaric country, as long as the arrested can no longer be arrested, the imprisoned have nowhere to go to prison, and the sentenced have no interrogation, all are worthy of blessing yes!

But all this is possible in our country.How convenient it is to strike a downturned, dead, hopeless man with the back of an axe! "Dedicated to knocking down people!"--This is the moral outlook of our country's jailers.The moral rule of our country's special agents is - use dead bodies as stepping stones! The interrogation in the labor camp and the trial in the labor camp can be considered to have also been born on the Solovets Islands.But the solution there is simple: go directly to the bell tower, and "suddenly, suddenly" will solve the problem.In the era of five-year plans and the spread of cancer, re-sentences in labor camps began to replace bullets.

If there is no second (third, fourth) sentence.How can it achieve the goal of hiding them forever in the arms of the archipelago and eradicating all those who are destined to be exterminated? The regeneration of sentences, like the growth of snakeskin, is the archipelago's form of existence.How many years have our country’s labor camps been bustling, and our country’s places of exile have been cold, and this black threat has hung over the prisoners’ heads for so many years: the first sentence has not been served yet, and a new one comes.Re-sentences in labor camps occurred every year, but 1937-38 and the war years were the most common. (In 1948-1949, the focus of re-sentencing was shifted to outside the prison: Some people should have been tried again in the labor camp, but they were negligent and let them go, and now they have to be sent back to the labor camp from outside. The camp. These people are called "Second Entry Palace". As for those who were sentenced again in the camp, they didn't even get proper names.)

When re-sentencing was implemented in 1938, re-arrests, in-camp interrogations, and in-camp courts were not carried out. All members of the work team were called into the registration and allocation section to sign the notice of the new sentence. That's it. (If you refuse to sign, it will simply put you in confinement, just like punishing you for smoking in a place where smoking is prohibited. And it will explain to you very humanely: "We didn't say what you committed Sin, as long as you sign the notice.")--This is still a kind of kindness, and the machine also has kindness.Kolyma's knot was ten years, Vorkuta's was still younger: eight years, five years, depending on the decision of the special court.Rebellion is futile--in the endless dark alleys of the archipelago, does it make any difference between eight years and eighteen years, between the beginning of a decade and the end of a decade?Your body isn't scratched and shredded today, that's the only thing that matters

It can now be understood in this way: the source of the epidemic of sentences in the camps in 1938 was the instructions from above.The higher authorities suddenly felt that the sentences in the past were too light, and that they should be given more weight (some of them had to be shot), so as to scare off those who did not come in. But the epidemic of casework in the camps during the war added a spark of joy from below, taking on the character of civil initiative.It was roughly instructed from above that during the war, the most conspicuous figures who might become the core of the rebellion should be suppressed and isolated.The bloodthirsty sons everywhere immediately saw that there was a lot of treasure in this mine vein, which was an excuse for not going to the front line.It appears that more than one labor camp figured out the mystery, and word spread quickly as a helpful, witty, life-saving idea.The Cheka fighters in the labor camps were also blocking machine gun holes, but they used other people's bodies.

Let historians experience the atmosphere of those times: the battle line moved eastward, the Germans surrounded Leningrad, hit the city of Moscow, occupied the Vorohan Pass, and reached the banks of the Volga River and the foothills of the Caucasus Mountains.There are fewer and fewer men in the rear, and every healthy figure of a man attracts censure.All for the front line!In order to stop Hitler, the government will pay any price.Only the fat, white-skinned and idle labor camp officers (and their brothers in the State Security Department) remained in their posts in the rear.The deeper you go into Siberia and the extreme north, the more you can rest assured.But be soberly aware that an easy life is not secure.A voice from above shouted: "Hey, get rid of those red-faced, quick-witted labor reform cadres!" Everything will be over.No queue experience?But the ideological consciousness is high!It would be lucky to be assigned to the police and supervisory teams.If it doesn't work well, it will be incorporated into the officer camp!Into the Battle of Stalingrad!In the summer of 1942, some military academies were completely closed, and all the students were sent to the front line without finishing their graduation.The guard had been drained of all the young and strong escorts—and nothing happened.The labor camp did not fall apart.This shows that even if there is no special commissioner, it seems that they will not fall apart (there are already rumors of this).

Exemption treatment - is life!Exemption treatment - is happiness!How can I ensure my exemption treatment?A simple and natural thought is that one must justify one's own necessity, that without the vigilance of the Cheka, the labor camps would explode (it's a boiling pot of tar!), and then our glorious front would crumble.It was in these tundra and taiga camps that the white-breasted operatives stood up against the fifth column, against Hitler!This is their contribution to victory!They worked tirelessly in one investigation after another, exposing one conspiracy after another. Before this, the unfortunate and exhausted labor reform prisoners competed for survival by robbing each other of the solar eclipse.And the Cheka operatives who are now in power have also shamelessly joined in. "You deserve to die today, I'll live until tomorrow!!" But it's better to use your dirty beast's life to push my death far away!

So a "rebel group" was concocted in Uster-Wim: eighteen people in total!An attempt, of course, to disarm the guards and seize their weapons (half a dozen old rifles)! --What's next?The scale of the next plan is unimaginable: they want to mobilize the whole North!March to Vorkuta!March on Moscow!Meet Mannerheim!Telegrams and reports are pouring in from all over: a major conspiracy solved!The situation in the labor camp is unstable!Action cadres urgently need to be further strengthened! What's the matter!Conspiracy found in every labor camp!plot!plot!The scale is getting bigger and bigger!The scope is getting wider and wider!These scheming old and sick!They pretended to be vulnerable, but their bony pellagra hands were secretly reaching for machine guns!Oh, thank you, Operation Cheka!Oh, the savior of the motherland - a "third hall"!

A group of foxes and dogs sat in such a "third hall" (Mongolia Zhida labor camp in Buryatia); Chief of Cheka Operations Section Chief Sokolov, Investigator Mironenko, Special Operations Commissioner Kalashniko Sosikov, Osintsev.They commented: We are behind!There are all conspiracies out there, but we can't keep up!Of course we have a major conspiracy here, but what should it be?Of course it is "disarming the guards", no problem it is "fleeing abroad".Because after all, the national border is close, and Hitler is far away.What about Jing Tui? Like a pack of fat, vicious dogs tearing at a sickly, hairless rabbit, the pack of blue dogs sprang at the unfortunate Babbage.The former arctic explorer, the former hero, is now a dying man covered in ulcers.Didn't he almost give the icebreaker Sadko to the Germans when the war broke out?Of course he has to lead the plot now!Now was the time to rescue their fattened bodies with his scurvy-dying body.

"Even if you are a very bad Soviet citizen, we have the means to force you to carry out our will. You will beg on your knees!" "You don't remember? -- we will remind you!" "Can't write it? -- we Write it for you!" "I still have to think about it? -- Shut up in confinement, and the ration is reduced to 300 grams a day!" Another operative said: "It's a pity. Of course you'll see later that it was wise to carry out our demands. But it will be too late when we can snap you like a pencil with our fingers." (He Where did this imagery come from? Did they come up with it themselves or was it a set of ready-made sentences made up for them by some unknown poet in the Cheka praxeology textbook?)

The interrogation was now by Mironenko: no sooner had Babbage been brought into the house than the aroma of a delicious meal filled his lungs.Mironenko made him sit down near the steaming borscht and schnitzel.Then, as if he hadn't seen the borscht and the patties, and as if he didn't even notice that Babbage had seen them, he began to graciously cite things that relieved his conscience and justified why false testimony could and should be given. Ten arguments.He kindly reminds: "When you first came in from the outside, you tried to prove your innocence - didn't you fail? Didn't you fail? Because your fate was decided before you were arrested. It's the same now. It's the same now. Well, well! Eat, eat! Eat it while it's hot. . . . If you're not a fool—we'll get on well. You'll have something to eat, and something useful . . . or else . . . " Babbage is shaken!The hunger for life overwhelms the hunger for truth.He writes whatever he is asked to write.Twenty-four people were framed, of which he knew only four!During the entire interrogation period, he was provided with good food and drink, but not fed enough, so that he could be cured with hunger after a resistance. Reading his autobiography written before he died, you can't help but tremble: from what heights to what depths a brave man would fall!We can all fall... As a result, the twenty-four people who did not know were either taken to be shot, or given new punishments.Before the trial, Babbage was sent to the State Farm to work as a cleaner, and later testified in court, and later got a new ten years to cancel the original ten years.But he died in the camp before serving his second sentence. And what about the villains in Zhida's "Third Hall"? ...Someone will investigate these villains, right? !There will always be someone!Contemporary people!People of future generations! ... what about you? ...Did you think that once you enter the labor camp, you can pour out all your thoughts?I thought I could at least complain here: the sentence was too severe!The food is too bad!Too much work!Or did you think you could repeat here the act that led to your sentence?You just have to say one of these words.You are ruined!You are destined for a new decade. (Admittedly, from the date of the new ten-year sentence in the labor camp, the original ten-year sentence ends, so you are not expected to serve twenty years, but only thirteen to fifteen years. . . . But it's a bit longer than the rest of your life anyway.) Are you sure you have been silent like a fish?In the end, they still arrested you?This is still true!No matter how you behave, they can't help but catch you.You must know that arresting people is not because you have violated anything, but because you want to arrest people. This is still the principle of shooting the first bird that is practiced outside.When the "Third Hall" thugs prepare to hunt, they make rosters of the most prominent men in the camp.Then dictate the list to Babbage... It was even more difficult to keep a low profile in the labor camps, where everything was under the watchful eyes of others.There is only one way for people to save themselves: to make themselves equal to zero!Absolute zero.Initially equal to zero. It's not at all difficult to add a crime to you after the fact. As soon as the "conspiracy wind" passed (the German army began to retreat), from 1943 onwards, a large number of "agitation" cases swarmed in. (The godfathers still don't want to go to the front!) For example, a ready-made set of charges was formed in the Bree Polom camp? - hostile activities aimed at opposing the policies of the CPSU (Bolsheviks) and the Soviet government (how hostile - let yourself understand!); -- making defeatist slander; -- Talking about the material conditions of the working people in the USSR in a slanderous way (slander to be honest). -- a desire to restore the capitalist system (!); - Complaining about the Soviet government (this is especially abominable! What are you, beast! Complaining? Received "ten rubles" (ten years). Just stay quietly!); A seventy-year-old former tsarist diplomat has been charged with the following agitation. -- Said that the life of the working class in the Soviet Union was not good; -- Said Gorky was a bad writer.In no way can it be said that they overdid it.Scolding Gorky has always been punished, and he put himself in this position.For example, Skvortsov of Lochchemlage (near Ust-Vim) has earned fifteen years, and one of the charges is: -- Compare the proletarian poet Mayakovsky with a certain bourgeois poet. That's what's written in the indictment, and that's enough for the sentence.From the interrogation transcript, it can be ascertained who "a certain" refers to.It turned out to be - Pushkin!You see, Pushkin can also be convicted - this is indeed a rare example! In this way, the Marchinson who really said "the Soviet Union is a big camp" in the tin workshop only lived for ten years, thank God. And those who refused to go to work after only ten years and were not shot, they should also thank God. This is in line with the intention of the Operations Department - a new sentence can be imposed in the future, which makes the existence of the Operations Department meaningful in the future.And when the war is over, when no one will believe any talk of conspiracy or even defeatist sentiment, they will be sentenced on the terms of everyday life.In the Dolinka agricultural labor camp in 1947, public judgments were held in the camp every Sunday.There was the case of digging potatoes and roasting them over a bonfire; there was the case of stealing raw carrots and turnips from the field (what would the serfs of the noble lords say if they were tried once in the past?!); According to the "June 4th" decree that was just promulgated, for such things, five and eight years of imprisonment were given respectively.There was a former "rich peasant" who was about to finish his sentence. He commanded a young bull in the camp, and he couldn't bear to see it starve.He took a fine radish and fed it - not himself! --The ox in the camp was bred for eight years.Of course, "social affinity elements" don't feed cows!This is how the lives of common people have been taken away for ten or ten years—those who deserve to live are still alive, and those who deserve to die are dead. But the horror of these re-sentences does not lie in the number of years itself, not in the whimsical length of the years that are decided out of thin air, but in how you need to get this second term of imprisonment, and how you need to keep accumulating The ice and snow pipe climbed over to get it. For a reform-through-labour prisoner, what does arrest mean?To a man who had been arrested from a hot bed at home, being arrested from an uncomfortable bare-panelled work shed would have been nothing.In fact, it can be greatly uncomfortable!There is a stove in the shed, and a full ration is given out in the shed—but the watchman comes and tugs at your feet in the middle of the night: "Pack up your things!" Oh, I really don't want to leave! ... people, people, I love you! "... An investigative prison in a labor camp.If it is not worse than the labor camp itself, what kind of prison is it called, and what can you use to get you to confess?Such prisons must be cold.If it's not cold enough -- you're only allowed to stay in your cell in your underwear.The famous Vorkuta No. 30 (this is the name the prisoners learned from the Cheka officers. The Cheka calls it after the prison's phone number) is a wooden shed in the Arctic Circle. Forty degrees below zero, relying on burning coal for heating, and only one wooden box a day, this is certainly not because Vorkuta is short of coal.He also made it difficult for others on purpose - no kindling was given to start a fire - only a piece of wood the size of a pencil holder was given. (By the way, the fugitives were caught and brought back naked and locked up in No. 30. Those who were still alive after two weeks were given a set of summer clothes, but no cotton waistcoats. No bedding underneath, no cover on top Reader! Please try to sleep like this for one night, it’s about five degrees above zero in the shed). For several months during the investigation, the prisoners squatted like this.They had been consumed by years of starvation, slave labor long before that.Now they don't have to bother to get results.food? --According to the regulations of the "Third Hall": in some places it is 350 grams, in some places it is 300 grams, and in No. 30 it is 200 grams of sticky bread, slightly larger than a matchbox.Take Jianying's vegetable soup once a day. But even if you sign everything, admit it, surrender, agree to another ten years in the Lovely Isles, it won't warm you up right away.Before the trial, you will be transferred from No. 30 to the not-so-famous "interrogation tent" in Vorkuta.This is the most ordinary tent, and it is still broken.There are no pin boards in the ground.The frozen soil of the Arctic is the floor.The area inside the tent is 7X12 meters, and there is an iron bucket used as a stove in the middle.The single storey was lined with sticks, and the place near the stove was always occupied by thieves.Political pariahs are placed around or on the ground.Lie down and see the stars in the sky.You must pray to God: quickly condemn me!Sentence quickly!Looking forward to a trial is like looking forward to being saved. (Some will say that one cannot live in the arctic circle like this without eating chocolate and wearing leather jackets. But in our country - yes! We Soviets, our archipelago - can! Arnold La Poport has been squatting like this for months—because the provincial court circuit team has been slow to come to Naryan-Mar.) Another interrogation prison is proposed for you to choose - Orotukan Correctional Labor Camp in Kolyma, 506 kilometers away from Magadan.The winter of 1937-38.The new village with a canvas and wood structure is actually some tents with holes, but there are thin wooden boards on the outside to protect them.Every new batch of prisoners, every new victim brought for interrogation by a small group, sees before entering the door: every tent in this small village is surrounded on three sides by a guard and a Stacks of stiff corpses L. This is not to scare people, but simply because there is no other way: people are going to die, the snow is two meters thick, and there is permafrost under the snow. ) The next step is to wait for Sharen.You need to wait in the tent until you transfer to the Log Scout Prison.But the catch was too great—too many rabbits were brought in from all over Kolyma, and the scouts were overwhelmed.The fate of most of those transported was to die before the first interrogation.The tent was crowded into a ball, and I couldn't even straighten my waist.The boards and the ground were full of people.Lie down for weeks. (Scherpantinka will reply: "Is that a crowd? We have people waiting to be shot standing in a hut, yes, for only a few days. Forget about the crowd. Give them a drink Water—actually, when crushed ice cubes were thrown on their heads from the door opening, they couldn’t reach out their hands to catch the ice cubes, so they had to catch them with their mouths.) There is no place to take a bath, and there is no ventilation. Itching all over. Everyone was scratching like crazy. They were all caught in cotton trousers, cotton waistcoats, shirts, underwear-but they refused to take them off to catch them, it was too cold. The big, white, bulging lice were like nutrition Plenty of suckling pigs. A pinch--blood splattered on the face, yellow paste on the nails. Every time before lunch, the watchman on duty stood in the doorway and shouted: "Is there anyone dead?"The corpses were carried out and stacked on the pile of dead bodies.Nobody stifles the name of the dead!Rations are distributed according to the number of people.Three hundred grams per serving.Vegetable soup a day.A northern trout that failed the sanitation inspection was also issued.That stuff is very salty.After eating it, I want to drink water, but boiled water never, not at all.There are wooden buckets filled with ice water.It takes several jars to quench your thirst. TCM．Advise friends: "You can live without eating northern trout! All the calories you get from bread are used up to warm these ice water with your stomach." But people refused to give up a free piece of fish, and ended up eating it again. Gotta go get some water.The cold inside made them shiver uncontrollably. M．Didn't eat fish himself - so he's the one who can tell us about Orotucan now. The crowd huddled together in the work shed seemed to be getting smaller and smaller.After a few weeks, the rest of the workers in the shed were sent outside for a roll call.Under the unaccustomed daylight, they saw each other's appearance clearly: their faces were pale, their beards were long, and there were long strings of mosquitoes hanging on them, their lips were purple and hard, and their eyes were plucked out.When the roll call was made by the registration card, the voice of the respondent was so weak that it was almost inaudible.The unanswered cards are set aside.In this way it was found out who had evaded interrogation by staying on the pile of corpses. Those who survived Orotukan say they would have preferred the gas chambers... scouting?All according to the meaning of the investigator.Those who defy his will have shut up forever.As Cheka operator Komarov said: "I only need your right hand - to sign the record..." Torture?Well, of course it is the first method, which is very primitive - pinching your hands through the crack of the door, all of them belong to this category. (Readers, please try!) court?There is a labor camp judicial committee, which is a permanent court in the camp led by the provincial court, just like the district-level people's court.The rule of law has won!There are witnesses in court!But they were bought by the "Third Hall" from a wet market. In Breborom, when members of a class were tried, it was often their class leader who testified.Investigator Chuvash Krutikoff forced them to appear in court: "Otherwise I will remove your position as squad leader and send you to Pechora!" One of the squad leaders, Nikolai Longren (from Gorky City) ) testified in court and said: "Yes, Bernstein said that the Singer brand imported sewing machines are good, but the domestic Podolsk sewing machines cannot be used." Well, that's enough!Is it not enough for the Assize Division of the Gorky Provincial Court (Chairman - Bukhonin, and two local female Komsomol members Zhukova and Kordina)?ten years! A blacksmith named Anton Vasilyevich Balybelkin (local, from Donshayev) was also imprisoned in the Brepolom labor camp.He appeared as a witness in all the cases tried in the camp.Whoever meets him in the future, please shake his hand of honor! Well, one more deportation is over.In order to prevent you from having the idea of ​​settling accounts with witnesses in the future, you need to be transferred to another labor camp.The quick fix wasn't far off this time—it was nothing more than three or four hours of walking on a platform car along the narrow-gauge railway. Those who should go to the hospital can go to the hospital now.If you can still move your feet -- please go push the cart tomorrow morning. Long live the vigilance of the Cheka!It saved our country from defeat and the Cheka operatives from going to the front! Not many people were shot during the war (if we don’t talk about the republics that we evacuated hastily), but more were "riveted" to give new sentences to the labor camps: what the Cheka operators want is not to eliminate these people, but to solve the case.Whether a sentenced person works or dies, this is already a matter of production management. On the contrary, in 1938 the highest desire that could not wait was - execution!All the camps carried out as many executions as they could, but the two places with the most killings were Kolyma ("Galanin massacre") and Vorkuta ("Kashketin massacre"). The Kashkek massacre is associated with the eerie name "Old Brick Kiln".This is the name of a narrow-gauge railway station twenty kilometers south of Vorkuta. After the Trotskyite hunger strike in March 1937 had been "victory" and had been duped, a "Grigorovich Committee" was sent from Moscow to interrogate the strikers.In the taiga forest not far from the iron bridge of the Ropcha River to the south of Ukhta, a fence lined with logs was built, and a new isolation center, Ukhtarka, was built here.Interrogation of the Trotskyists on the southern section of the main railway line was carried out at this place.One of the members of the committee sent to Vorkuta was called Kashketin.Here he passed all the Trotskyites through the "reconnaissance tent" one by one (using flogging!), and did not force them to confess their guilt very much, but there was a "Kashketin list" . In the winter of 1937-38, Trotskyists, as well as members of the Democratic Centralists (Democratic Centralists) were taken from various concentration places-tent camps at the mouth of the Syr-Yaga River, Kosmachi, Siwaya Maskar and Ukhtarka were all dragged to the old brick kilns (some of them were not investigated at all).Only a few of the most eminent personalities were sent to Moscow for a public trial.By April 1938, a total of 1,053 people had gathered in the old brick kiln.There was a long strip of old wooden sheds in the frozen ground on one side of the narrow-gauge railway.The strikers were allowed to live in first, and later the number of people increased, and two dilapidated tents were set up next to them, with nothing covered outside.Two hundred and fifty people lived in each tent.We can already guess how he lives in 01 based on the situation in Orotukan. There is a gasoline barrel in the middle of the 20x6 meter tent, and a small bucket of coal is distributed every day, and people throw lice into the stove to increase the temperature.A thick layer of frost covered the surface of the tent cloth.There are not enough seats on the bunk, so they can only lie down or walk around in turns.Three hundred grams of bread and one vegetable soup were given out a day.Sometimes, not every day, a small piece of sturgeon was given to each person.There is no water, and broken ice cubes are distributed for drinking.Needless to say, I never wash my face, and there is no bathroom.Spotted with scurvy all over the body. But there is something worse here than in Orotukan. Among the Trotskyites, a group of "stormtroopers" in the labor camp were added-thieves, including some murderers who were sentenced to death.The authorities specifically explained to these people that they wanted to "squeeze and grind" those political beasts.If they do a good job, they thieves get a reduced sentence.The burglars gladly accepted the commission, which was as agreeable as it suited their temperament.They were designated as group leaders (some people still remember the nickname of one of them - "Severe Cold") and group leaders.They walked back and forth with sticks in their hands, beating these ex-communist members, and humiliating them in various ways: forcing them to lie on the ground to be horses for themselves; taking their clothes, soaking shit on them, and throwing them into the stove burn it.In one tent, political prisoners jumped on the thieves trying to kill them. The thieves screamed, and the escort team opened fire on the tent from outside in order to protect the social relations elements. The indignities of the thieves destroyed most of all the unity and will of the former strikers. Twenty years of brutal revolutionary passion gradually turned to ashes in the cold and dilapidated shelter of the old brick kiln, including many people imprisoned here. The tradition of Russian political struggle seems also!Lu has reached its end. The prisoners of the old brick kiln still thought they would be sent to build a new project due to the inherent hopeful instinct of human beings.They have been suffering here for several months, and the pain is unbearable.Sure enough, on April 22 (the exact date is not fully guaranteed, because this day is Lenin's birthday!) The first batch of ex-convicts was assembled, a total of 200 people.Everyone who was called went to get his knapsack and put it on the sled.The escort led the team towards the east, into the uninhabited tundra, and Salekhard was far ahead.The thieves sat behind the luggage sleigh and the people behind noticed only one strange thing: luggage fell from the sleigh, one, two... and no one picked it up. The procession walked in good spirits: some new life, some new work, awaited them, exhausting as it may be, but no worse than waiting here.But the sled fell far behind.The escort team also began to fall behind—there were no people in front of the team or on the side of the team, and they all followed behind.What's the matter, the relaxation of the escort team-this is also a good sign. The sun is shining. Suddenly, intensive machine gun fire began to shoot at the marching black team from an invisible place, from the dazzling snow field.Some of the prisoners fell down, some were still standing, and no one knew what was going on. Death came in a vestment of sunshine and snow, innocent and kind. This is a fantasia on the theme of the coming war.The executioners in Arctic cloaks (it is said that most of them are Georgians) jumped up from the temporary fortifications built with snow, rushed to the road, and filled a pistol with a bullet to the one who was still alive.Some large pits had been dug not far away, and the thieves who had caught up at this time began to drag the corpses into them.Much to the dismay of the thieves, everything belonging to the deceased was burned. On April 23 and 24, another 760 people were shot and killed in the same place and by the same method. Ninety-three people were escorted back to Vorkuta.These are thieves, and apparently a spy and a mole. Those who can point out the names are Reutman, Eastnyuk, Model (editor of the State Literary Publishing House), Aliyev.The thief was Tajik Nikolaevsky.We cannot say exactly why each individual is forgiven, but it is hard to imagine any other reason. Someone named Model was also pointed out.Now I have received a collective letter to correct the situation of Moisei Josephovich Model, saying that he was not spared in the old brick kiln, but was sent there before the group of prisoners who were to be killed Let him leave the team.what's going on?Here is an episode typical of the orthodox: the newly transferred cadre of internal affairs turned out to be Model's old comrade in arms from the Investigative Committee of the Soviet Military Revolutionary Committee of the Petrograd Soviet of Workers, Peasants and Soldiers' Deputies (that is to say, in October During the day, we rectified people together).The comrade found Mordel in the list and surreptitiously extracted his files, thus saving his life. Information about the Qashketin massacre was collected by me from two fellow prisoners.One of them was there and was forgiven.The other is a person who likes to know the situation very much. He had a strong desire to write about this incident at that time.He took no time to inspect the scene and questioned everyone he could. But the death row inmates from distant dispatches arrived later.They came here one after another in groups of five or ten.The executioner squad picked them up at the old brick kiln station and took them to a dilapidated bath house (it was a small log cabin with three or four quilts nailed to the wall).Order the condemned prisoners to take off their clothes on the snow and walk in naked.Killed with a pistol inside.This took a month and a half to eliminate about two hundred people.The dead bodies were burned on the frozen ground. The wooden shed in the old brick kiln and the tent in Ukhtarka were also later burned. (But the "bath room" was put on a platform car and pulled to the narrow-gauge railway No. 308 road sign and left there. My friend did research on it there. It was covered with blood stains, and the walls The bullet holes on the board are like sieve holes.) Let’s talk about the shooting of the Trotskyites at this time and place. It was said by Franz Dikler (he is a Brazilian Jew. He heard too much Soviet propaganda in New York, Came to Leningrad in 1937 as a telegraph operator on a Greek ship, sneaked ashore to join socialism - immediately got a prison sentence).In the spring of 1938 he worked as a gate mover on the Rudnik-Usa section of the Vorkuta narrow-gauge railway.Once, the Cheka Operations Division gave them an order: cut off traffic, not load coal, and prepare four platform trucks and two stuffy tank trucks with stoves to transport prisoners to Usa.A large group of escorts with dogs brought two hundred and fifty prisoners, among them were fifty habitual bandits, the rest were Trotskyites, and eight women.Most were well dressed--fur hats, fur collars, suitcases.Dickler saw in it Andrechin, who he was familiar with, Yugoslav, but a high-ranking member of the American Communist Party, a comrade-in-arms of Foster and Browder: Dickler had heard it in Madison Square Garden before His speech, met in the camp recently, knew the results of his strike-they began to receive dry rations, vacation days, and had separate work shifts and work sheds.Now they were loaded on a bare platform truck, and it was cold, windy and snowy, and they were just pulled away.Andrechin saw him, turned his face away from him, and shouted with all his might: Frank! Just Listen, don't say a word! This is the end. Wearegoihgttobemurderedincoldblood! Frank! Listen! If you ever get out, tell the world who they yare: abunch of cut! throats! Assas-ins! bandits! He yelled the same words over and over again.Dickler was shaking.Beside him on the platform car stood an old Komi guard, smoking his horn pipe.When Andrechin stopped, the prisoners on the platform car started talking in unison and heard the crying of a woman. Obviously, many of them understood what was said in English.The captain of the escort blew his whistle to stop the train and fired several shots into the sky.All fell silent.队长喊叫着说："你们干嘛要造反？你们不是要单独住吗？这回就单独了。口粮，工作都会有的！" 车接着往前开。在兹梅卡站上停下来。把犯人带下平台车，列车返回鲁德尼克。车组人员都知道这个兹梅卡站：那儿从来没有劳改点，也没有人家。 窄轨铁路上交通断绝了两天。后来赶马车的说：犯人们被带进一条峡谷，迎面埋伏了机枪手，同时开枪射击。 附带说一句。对托洛茨基分子的屠杀还没有结束。后来又逐渐搜索出三十来个漏网的，统统在"三十号"附近枪毙了，但这已经是由另一批人执行的。第一批刽子手，即参加卡什凯京大屠杀的那些契卡行动人员和押解人员以及盗窃犯，不久后都作为见证人而被处决了。 卡什凯京本人一九三八年获得了列宁勋章，以表彰他"对党和政府的特殊贡献"。一年以后在列佛尔托沃监狱被处决。 能说这在历史上是头一次吗？cannot. A?勃-夫这样介绍在阿达克（伯朝拉河畔的劳改点）处决犯人的情况：每天夜里押解一批反对派犯人"带着行李"走出营区。营区外面有一座属于"第三厅"的小屋。这些在劫难逃的人们一个个被带进小屋，警卫队员一拥而上，用些软的东西把他们的嘴塞住，用绳子倒绑双手，然后带到院子里，套好牲口的大车已经等在那里了。一辆大车装五至七个捆牢的人，运到"小山"，即劳改营坟地。在那儿把他们全拖进一个个挖好的大坑，立刻活埋。这并非是兽性发作，不是的。是因为他们研究出来，处理活的（拖运、上下车）比处理死的轻巧得多。 这件工作在阿达克进行了许多夜晚。 我们党的精神上和政治上的一致，就是用这个办法达到的。
