metadata.value: Interdisciplinary approaches have expanded the research space of the history of political repression
  of 1920–1950s. The surge of interest in documents of personal origin in the historiography
  of the post-Soviet space led to an appeal to ego-documents — personal letters from
  victims of political repression. The study is based on archival and investigative materials of
  the Special State Archive of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Republic of Kazakhstan.
  Introduction of narrative sources into the scholarship enables to hear the history of political
  repression “from inside”, “from below”, to feel the psychology of terror. Letters to the authorities
  touched upon a complex of problems related to the violation of socialist legality in the
  field, especially in the period of political repression. The main message of the letters sent to
  the first leaders of the Soviet state was the monstrosity of the accusation of Article 58 of the
  Criminal Code of the RSFSR, the ridiculous mistake made by Soviet justice. The purpose of
  the article is to reveal the cognitive potential of ego documents in articulating the history
  of political repression. Based on the theoretical concepts of a linguistic, narrative turn, the
  historical past of political repressions, represented by ego documents of victims of political
  terror is constructed. A discursive assessment of the letter suggests its interpretation as a reconstruction
  of the sociocultural memory of the tragic past that left a cultural trauma in the
  family frame of memory. Each letter has its own power of power, the inner ‘I’ voices the daily
  practices of political terror.
