Nukumai

There were, of course, many notable people who spent time in the camps, some of whom wrote about it (Solschenizyn, Dolgun etc). Were there any prisoners in your camp(s) who were famous or who became famous after their release?

Also, of the many books that were written about life in the gulag, which are the ones that you feel are most realistic (assuming you have read some of these)?

Also, thanks for the AMA.

A month ago I met Oleg Kalugin

Just an FYI for those who like to read non-fiction, spy/cold war books, Kalugin's book Spymaster is - as I am sure is also the case with Mr Barsky's - a most interesting read.
