'Memoirs of a Life Cut Short' inveighs against the falseness of a system that slowly crushes everyone in its wake. We see the development of an ordinary person in Soviet conditions who in one way or another becomes part of a system that is almost impossible to escape from or change. In 14 letters from beyond the grave, Leonas Ciparis delineates his life from his earliest days up until his last; his rise from lowly beginnings to the upper echelons of the Communist Party, illustrating the nature of the new Soviet person.
