You are reading the memoirs of Viktor Kravchenko, a Ukrainian, a talented engineer who managed to survive the repressions in the USSR under Stalin. He was a member of the communist party who believed that the USSR could become a country of a happy future, but in time he realised what a totalitarian regime was, the widespread lies and systematic extermination of those who resisted the criminal system. Viktor Kravchenko managed to escape and, in a few years, wrote a book that shook the entire Western world.
