This book seems to be about Russia during the Stalinist purge, although Russia isn't named, and the dictator is always referred to as No. 1. It tells the story of Rubashov, a somewhat older man who has been imprisoned by the same regime he used to be a part of. He has a couple of fellow prisoners and two interrogators who are also characters in the story.
It is sad obviously, since it takes place in a political prison. It is also sad as he is being held by his former comrades. It is also interesting and a fairly easy read. It is worth the time.
