But the wave of 1937 swept up and carried off to the Archipelago people of position, people with a Party past, yes, educated people, around whom were many who had been wounded and remained in the cities . . . and what a lot of them had pen in hand!

А поток 37-го года прихватил и понес на Архипелаг также и людей с положением, людей с партийным прошлым, людей с образованием, да вокруг них много пораненных осталось в городах, и сколькие с пером!
