Description
Oleg Kostoglotov arrives at Ward 13 after years of exile, carrying the scars of imprisonment and the fear of what his cancer diagnosis will mean. Taking place in the Soviet Union in 1956 during the Khrushchev Thaw, Cancer Ward gathers patients from across society in a provincial hospital. Former Party officials lie beside political exiles, each confronting illness while reckoning with the compromises demanded under Stalinist repression. As treatments strip away pride and certainty, Oleg questions the loyalty, silence and fear that shaped his life in the camps. Conversations in the ward expose betrayal, survival, and the moral cost of obedience. As post-Stalin historical fiction, Cancer Ward turns a hospital into a portrait of a wounded state, revealing how political terror lingers long after the dictator's death. 'Solzhenitsyn is one of the towering figures of the age, as a writer, as moralist, as hero' Edward Crankshaw
