Georgy Georgievich Demidov (1908-1987) - physicist, Landau student, prisoner of the Kolyma camps, an outstanding Russian writer, author of short stories and stories about the life of GULAG prisoners. In the 1980s, the archive of his manuscripts was arrested by the KGB. Solely thanks to the perseverance of Valentina Georgievna Demidova, the writer's daughter, after his death, in the early 1990s, the archive was returned and with great difficulty published several camp stories. But only by the centenary of Demidov, the publishing house "Return" released four of his books (a collection of short stories and an autobiographical novel).
