The book is dedicated to a little-known page of Soviet state terror, which was previously out of the field of view of historians. It concerns the repeated punishment of political prisoners of the Gulag, who were sentenced to life imprisonment in accordance with the illegal Decree of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR of February 21, 1948. In everyday speech, they were united by the definition of "repeaters".
A significant body of archival sources, first introduced into scientific circulation, allows you to get acquainted with the behind-the-scenes vicissitudes of the procedure for identifying and stigmatizing these people, to understand the real meaning of little-known definitions: "minusnik", "peresidchik", etc. Through the memoirs, documents, and epistolary letters of repeaters, the reader can go through the entire Way of the Cross with them from arrest to rehabilitation, to feel the moral and psychological state of people who are forced to live looking back even after another atonement for uncommitted crimes until their death.
