Archangel
“A roof has fallen and can be replaced.
The Captain of KGB begins an investigation. The Major in command is at first flustered, then morose.
There is labour in Zone i, and to spare. In a few days there will be a new office for Major Kypov at the end of the Administration block.
For nearly half a century the camp has survived the storms. More than fire is required to break the regimen of ZhKh 385/3/1.
Later, those who were to piece together the events at the camp of the early months of that year,... from the time of snow till the approach of spring, were to wonder what was the ambition of Michael Holly, prisoner of Hut z in Zone i of Camp 3 in the Dubrovlag complex.
For a few days there was a swirl of conversation in the camp about the fire and its likely cause, and then the talk slipped.
The zeks had more to concern them. Interest in food, in warmth, in punishment, soon outstripped a matter as trivial as a fire. The fire was a dream, the fire was as nothing as the new bricks were slapped into cold cement and the air rang with the rasp of the carpenters' saws as they fashioned the ceiling framework.MoreLess
