254 p., [2] leaves of plates: ill.; 22 cm. Occasional footnotes. Translation of Dnevniki. Introduction by Leonard Schapiro. A secretly kept daily account of Russian prison by a Jew who sought to escape from Russia and got caught. Condemned to death for such effrontery, his sentence was commuted to 15-years because of international protest. As carefully detailed and sensitive as Solzhenitsyn's accounts. Through diplomatic maneuvering, in 1979 Kuznetsov and Zalmanson were released from prison and allowed to leave the USSR. They immediately immigrated to Israel. He became a journalist; she a painter. Very good in good dust jacket. DJ has some wear and soiling. Pencil erasure residue on fep. First U.S. edition. Presumed first printing thus.
