Few things bring that much happiness as an empty compartment on an night train. That feeling of being all alone with you thoughts, soaked in the transient neon lights slicing up the darkness. A rhythmic clatter of the train helps you to enter that special kind of trance. Time melts away. The darkness is devouring the compartment. Let's hope noone will join you.

This letter did not reach the addressee. Most of the requests for clemency, written by convicts and their relatives, already at the beginning of their journey to the head of state received a note in the prosecutor's office or court: leave without further course. Historian and archivist Janusz Kotanski and former political prisoner Janusz Horodniczy followed in the footsteps of documents found in the archives in search of those harmed by Stalin's repressive apparatus.
