Album 3. Section 2
December 1941 - February 1942

Khokhrin, a man incredibly cruel in his treatment with people was appointed the head of the Suiga logging enterprise. Many woodcutters cried after learning of his appointment. Unlike the others Euphrosinia openly expressed her views. At the woodcutters' meetings in the club she criticised Khokhrin who represented the Soviet Power for top heavy production quotas and the ban for work-team members to help each other. In early December of 1941, Khokhrin sent Euphrosinia to work at Suiga, the most hardship post, hoping to get rid of her sooner.

In Suiga there were a good few of dependents, old people and children eligible to get only 150 gram of bread daily. If the workers shared their food with the dependents in their families they lost the strength because of starvation and were doomed to death. At the same time Khokhrin and his family lacked nothing and had warm clothes. Euphrosinia accused Khokhrin of children's famishing saying he was fully responsible for that.

In February 1942, Euphrosinia fell ill and couldn't work. Khokhrin ordered a nurse he appointed not to give her a leave from work and deprived her of food rationing. She preferred the death in the loose over the death in slavery and on February 26, 1942, escaped from the exile.

Khokhrin regularly gave the NKVD information on Euphrosinia  but in winter the lumbering enterprise had no means of communication with the country town. In spring they came to arrest Euphrosinia but didn't find her among the exiles and the NKVD placed her on the wanted list.
