fell in the deep snow, dragging the
stronger ones down with them. Despite
the Efforts of the Cossaok guards, the
exhausted people could make no attempt
to save themselves.
They were abandoned TO freeze Il
death while the others were driven for
ward, those in charge hoping TO get then
TO shelter. The storm continued to in

came worse and worse.
Now and then prisoners would droI

When the guards managed to get wha

of safety they found that of the 81
persons that they started with only mint,
one survived. Sixty-two of those wit
had perished were political prisoners
Among those lost were Madame LazarOv
