Summary of Eugenia Semenovna Ginzburg's Journey into the Whirlwind

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 The year 1937 began at the end of 1934, when I was ordered to attend the regional committee office, Room 37, at six A. M. I did not know what had happened, but I knew that the murderer was a Communist.

#2 In 1935, Elvov came to see me. He had been a speaker at meetings of Party activists and the city’s intelligentsia, and he was one of the most hated men in town. He told me that he was in for it, and that he had never done anything against the Party.

#3 When I met Elvov in 1932, he was assistant professor of Russian history at the Teachers Training Institute in Kazan. We immediately began working on several joint publications, and he invited me to take part in preparing a source book on the history of Tartary.

#4 The first two years of my life as a Communist were characterized by the prelude to the symphony of madness and terror that began in February 1937. I was accused of something I hadn’t done, and I didn’t denounce Elvov as a Trotskyist contraband dealer.
