7000 DAYS IN SIBERIA, 7000 DNI NA SIBIRI, Karlo Stajner

The young printing worker Karel Štajner joined the Communist Party of Yugoslavia in 1919 with faith in the world socialist revolution and in the correctness of Stalinist dogmas. Only his stay in the Soviet Union since 1932, when he worked in the Balkan section of the Communist International, and the terror that prevailed in the country after the assassination of S. M. Kirov in 1934, of which he became – like hundreds of thousands – another innocent victim, opened his eyes. The suffering he experienced during 7,000 days in 1939-1956 in various prisons and forced labor camps, and evidenced by the countless experiences of his own and the fates of his fellow prisoners, is a shocking testimony to the cruelty of Stalinism. Today, Karel Štajner is no longer alive. His memoirs were published in Yugoslavia in 1971 and in the following two years they were translated into Czech and published in a samizdat. Today, a wider range of readers are getting to know them for the first time.

Mlady tiskarsky delnik Karlo Stajner vstoupil v roce 1919 do KS Jugoslavie s virou ve svetovou socialistickou revoluci a ve spravnost stalinskych dogmat. Teprve jeho pobyt v Sovetskem svazu od roku 1932, kdy pracoval v balkanske sekci Komunisticke internacionaly, a teror, ktery zavladl v zemi po zavrazdeni S. M. Kirova v roce 1934, jehoz se stal – podobne jako statisice – dalsi nevinnou obeti, mu otevrely oci. Utrpeni, ktere prozil v prubehu 7000 dni v letech 1939-1956 v nejruznejsich veznicich a taborech nucenych praci a jez doklada nescetnymi prozitky vlastnimi i osudy svych spoluveznu, je otresnym svedectvim krutosti stalinismu. Dnes jiz Karlo Stajner nezije. Jeho vzpominky vysly v Jugoslavii casopisecky v roce 1971 a v nasledujicich dvou letech byly prelozeny do cestiny a vydany v samizdatu. Dnes se s nimi poprve seznamuje sirsi okruh ctenaru.
