When Dovlatov was drafted into the army, he was assigned to the guards, as a warden.
Dovlatov’s "Zone" consists of fourteen episodes from the lives of prisoners and their wardens, stories of people’s existence behind barbed wire, told simply and with sobering humor, behind which it is perfectly clear to hear: "Hell is ourselves."
All the stories took place in or near this settlement.
Hear this story where it happened, along with the others around it. Say how many days you have and what you are into, and we put together a route through these places, with a voice guide telling each story as you arrive.
