Once on the island of Fiery in the Vologda New Zer there was a monastery known throughout Russia, where kings and aristocrats came. After the 1917 revolution, the monastery was turned into prison, and in the 1990s the so-called “Vologda Pyatak” became the first colony in Russia for life convicts. You can get to the fiery only through the neighboring island of Sweet Island - his life, like the life of several mainland villages in the neighborhood, depends entirely on the colony, and there is neither the Internet nor public transport there. "Medusa" represents the audio version of Ilya Zhegulev’s report on life on sweet and his story about how he got to the island and what he saw there. The text is read by Konstantin Benyumov.
