Abstract

The details of Petro Demchuk's life in the Solovetsky camps (1934-1937) have not yet been covered in the historico-philosophical literature. The article reconstructs this fragment of the philosopher's biography using thoroughly described documents from Demchuk's prison file. The general biographical data provided in these documents are clarified by comparing them with the materials of Demchuk's personal file (1927-1928).
