Summary/Abstract: The article contains an analysis of the autobiographical novel of Łarysa Hieniusz “The Confession”. The author shows ’the world of a labour camp’ in a highly emotional way, unfounded detention of most prisoners, punished without guilt whose only offence was an unbounded love of their homeland. A particular attention was paid to women’s discourse to convey feelings, emotions, and bitter experiences of a person who got into a well-functioning Soviet investigative organisation and labour camps.
