IN CAPTIVITY VOLUME 3 - BORYS NIKOLAYEVICH SOKOLOV

Borys Sokolov's compelling autobiography is a moving portrayal of human fate in the whirlwind of war. As a reserve officer facing the reality of commanding an artillery battery during the retreat in 1941, he quickly realizes how different war is from his imagination. The battles in the suburbs of Leningrad, the chaos and uncertainty become his everyday life. But this is only the beginning of his war odyssey.

• Shocking memories from German prisoner-of-war camps
• Working in fields and mines in difficult conditions
• Observation of bombed cities of the Reich from the perspective of a prisoner
• Constant struggle for survival in extreme situations
• Account of life after liberation and the wandering existence of former prisoners
• Moral dilemmas related to returning to the homeland

The author describes his experiences with extraordinary frankness, not avoiding difficult choices and not judging the attitudes of others. His narrative, full of suggestive images and fatalistic humor, hides an enormous emotional charge. It is a courageous and brutal story about survival, choices and human nature in the face of war.

Sokolov's memoirs are not only an account from the front and prisoner-of-war camps, but also a fascinating picture of life after liberation. The wandering life of former Soviet prisoners of war in the occupation zones of Western states resembles the Cossack freedom in the Wild Fields, putting them before a difficult choice: stay in the West or return to the homeland of the proletariat? Taste freedom or count on the mercy of the NKVD filtration camps?

Boris Sokolov's book is a must-read for those who are not afraid to look into the Slavic soul and face the difficult questions about the meaning of war, the price of freedom and the limits of humanity. Avoiding hatred and prejudice, the author creates a moving portrait of people placed in extreme situations, forced to make choices that forever changed their lives.
