The Magadan publication “Very” reported the death of the “last political prisoner of the Stalinist camps”-88-year-old Vasily Kovalev. According to the material of the Kolyma journalists, until 18 years old Kovalev lived in the Odessa region, and during the war he was engaged in sabotage against the Germans.
According to the prisoner, in 1950 he was convicted under the 58th article of the Criminal Code of the USSR - sabotage, but already against the Soviet regime. Later in his orientation they wrote that he “adjoins the grouping of the organization of Ukrainian nationalists”, led by Stepan Bandera.

Kovalev twice tried to escape from the imprisonment, during his second attempt he was hiding for five months in mines. When he and the accomplices were found, they seized homemade weapons and stumps, as well as the “Democratic Party of Russia project”. In 1956, Kovalev was accused of complaints to the UN on behalf of the “Eternal Slave of the Construction of Communism” and transferred to the zone of increased regime.

The “household” was beaten in the reception room: for the fact that when he was cut, he asked not to touch his beard. They kicked in the stomach with boots, jumped on it, threw it on the floor. Then the senior sergeant says to me: “We will give you a special hairdresser!”
Everyone came out. I hear the barking of the dog. Well, I think, ****** [end].
She jumped right away. And I had socks and heels with metal plates are made so that the shoes did not fall off. And I hit so successfully that it fell. I did not let her go up, jumped and clutched my teeth in the throat. Something cracked under her teeth, she twitched and calmed down. I tore it until Yushka flowed.
But then the overseers entered, saw the dog and took up me. They beat, threw their backs against the wall. My legs refused, but I somehow managed to crawl to the boss and began to scream so that I was not killed. Rakovsky yells: “Take this counter!” And then his deputy hit me on the neck of the handcuff.
I fell and woke up only a week later on the concrete floor. It was an unheated basement of suicide bombers, from which no one came out alive. As now, icicles hung from the ceiling.
My neighbor could not stand the tortures and cold and cut his stomach with a pointed spoon and wrote with blood on the wall: “The proletarians of all countries, connect!” He was stuck back the guts, sewn up and threw back a week later.
Exposure from the memoirs of Vasily Kovalev
