If I ever retire and have time for it, I will translate "Russia in Concentration Camp" (Россiя въ концлагерe, lib.ru). There is an old translation, called somewhat unimaginatively "Russia in chains", incomplete so far as I know, and not online anywhere (Google books, Amazon)

Иван Лукьянович Солоневич
1891-1953

Ivan Solonevitch was an important part of the White Movement in emigration, a monarchist and a prolific author. In the early 1930s he attempted to escape abroad from the USSR using a false passport, was betrayed and jailed by NKVD. Served in Karelian labor camp together with his brother Boris and his son Yuri, from where all three escaped to Finland. That is the subject of Russia in Concentration Camp. Interestingly the term "concentration camp" was used by Solonevich before the Nazi concentration camps were a known phenomenon.

He survived several attempts by KNVD on his life while in emigration and his wife Tamara was killed by a Soviet bomb intended for Ivan.

Sounds fascinating. He must be totally unknown in the West — there must be millions of such stories in the old USSR. I fear the U.S. is headed toward the same arbitrary jurisprudence. The rule of law is breaking down everywhere and it is all choreographed by communists, anti-capitalists, Marxists, and anarchists championing the destruction of the US.
