“…Solovki Is so Sadly Missed! I’d Give Anything to Be Back There...”: The Living Conditions of Exiled Priests’ as Shown in Fr. Antoni Wasilewski’s Letter

Summary/Abstract: Fr. Antoni Wasilewski, a pastor of souls and dean in Moscow, as well as rector of the underground seminary in Leningrad, was removed from his position and arrested several times both in the time of Tsarist Russia and after the Bolshevik rule set it. Arrested three times, he spent some time in prisons in Moscow, Leningrad and Solovki (on the Solovetsky Islands). From the camp there, emaciated, he was sent to exile in Uzbekistan. There he lived in conditions of extreme poverty for less than two years. Neither the date of his death nor the place of burial is known. The presented letter from his exile shows manner in which prisoners were transported and their stay in Asian towns and settlements.
