ARTICLE 58 OF THE SOVIET PENAL CODE IDENTIFIED MILLIONS AS "ENEMIES OF THE PEOPLE" Sent from Latvia to Siberia at the age of only fifteen, this is the story of a young man"s endurance, survival and love. It is set against a cruel political system that identified millions as "enemies of the people". It ends on the day before Stalin"s state funeral; a day which proved that from his coffin the twentieth century"s most brutal dictator had not lost his capacity to deal out death at random to his subjects.
