Serge Iwaki, a young successful businessman in Tashkent falls under the flywheel of the second wave of mass repressions in Uzbekistan and convicted on trumped-up charges to 22 years' imprisonment. Torture, beatings, humiliation, month in chamber sentenced to death with simulated shooting, compulsory treatment in spetspsihushke and much more ... - And whether it's me or happening in my fevered imagination? - Serge sometimes asks himself. And he answers: - Yes! It was, and it was with me, I am a living witness to these events! And I have to tell the world about it. History tells us Serge Evgeni Dyakonov, human rights activist, journalist and veteran of the "hot spots", which served as the prototype for the main character. This book - a terrible human document. So terrible that it seems impossible to survive this horror and not go crazy. Evgeni Dyakonov could, and devoted his life to defending the rights of people affected by the dictatorial regimes. I thank him.
