The appearance of this book was preceded by 10 years of searching, studying archives and databases, returning names that were deleted during the Soviet repression. Plunging into the history of his grandfather, Sergei Borisovich Prudovsky did a phenomenal job, restoring information about hundreds of people affected by state terror. From his interest in personal family history, he went on to study in detail the "Harbin operation", and then all the national operations of the NKVD, many documents of which have not been studied until now. The book allows you to make the way of Sergei Borisovich in a few hours: to trace the history of his grandfather, who survived 14 years of camps, and to study the documents that accompanied each stage of his life. I hope that this work will be an example for many of our compatriots to search for information about their repressed relatives and return their fates from oblivion.
