Camp and prison theme, which had been brought by Russian writer Alexander Solzenitzin, even today is still actual by its message addressed for presence and future. Undeniable fact remains, that in the world of literature we cannot find of the kind, what would has been possible to compare to all Russian camp literature. Notwithstanding this type of literature is only Russian - made phenomenon, even though we can find it more or less in the other national literatures.
