Editing Eduard Limonov (section)

=== Detention ===
Limonov is locked up in the Lefortovo prison in Moscow, where the most dangerous enemies of the state are held. The inmates live in perpetual isolation, subjected to harsh discipline. Most of them come crashing down, but not Eduard who writes four books in a year. After fifteen months he is transferred to Saratov, where the trial will be held. The new prison is the opposite of the previous one, the inmates, for the most part, are common criminals and are crowded into cells too small to accommodate them. Limonov arrives there with the reputation of being a political opponent, a celebrity and an intellectual, but despite this he immediately gains the respect of the other prisoners. On the other hand, he has always aspired to be part of the most rejected society and he is very well in that condition.

At the trial the prosecutor asks for 15 years of sentence. Days later he receives the news that Natalia has died, probably from an overdose. He will have to serve his sentence in the Engels labor camp in southern Russia, where he further perfects his meditation techniques, gaining access to Nirvana. After a few months, however, he is released from prison with a lot of television crew that resumes the event. The political climate has changed and it is not possible to keep a great writer and party leader in jail.
