This is the extraordinary true story of two young Russians, Lev and Svetlana. Kept apart for fourteen years by the Second World War and the Gulag, they stayed true to each other and exchanged thousands of secret letters as Lev battled to survive in Stalin's camps. Using this remarkable cache of smuggled correspondence, Orlando Figes tells the tale of two incredible people who, swept along in the very worst of times, kept their devotion alive.
