Cellatlar gece gündüz, durmadan çalışıyor, cellat yetişmiyordu.O mahut Schlüsselburg kalesi ve çoğunluğu kale şeklinde olan diğer hapishaneler, mahpuslarla dolup dolup taşıyordu. Çar mahkemeleri ara vermeden çalışıyordu. Ve bir gece geçmiyordu ki şafak vakti bir kaç genç insan asılmasın.

Leonid Nikolaievich Andreyev was born on 21st August in Oryol, Russia, to a middle-class family of Polish, Ukranian and Finnish ancestry.

Andreyev now discarded any other career path apart from that of author. His classic story ‘Lazarus’ brilliantly tells the story of Christ’s disciple, forced to wander the earth for all time; it is both chilling and heart-breaking in its Russian setting.
