(1906-1979)
FROM THE INTERROGATION RECORD Top Secret.
13.5.32.
I fully admit my antisoviet
acts, hiding nothing and concealing nothing from the GPU organs, I testify to
the following:
a) From the end of 1927 to 1929 I was in the antisoviet group «Pamir».
b) From 1931 I was in the antisoviet group «Sibiryakov».
c) I wrote and read out among members of a group the poem «Kolchak».
d) I wrote and read at a gathering in Herzen House the poem «The Tiger of the
Seven Rivers», dedicated to Trotsky.
I will detail in subsequent testimony the work of the «Pamin» and «Sibiryakov»
groups, and the political credo and political physiognomy of the members of the
groups.
What has been written down from my words is true and has been read back to me.
Sergei Markov.
I am suffering from a serious nervous illness... No one took into account my
illness at the time of my arrest. I know of nothing that I have done. I consider
my arrest to be a misunderstanding. I really don't know why, but for a whole
month no one has informed me - seriously ill as I am - of the motives for my
arrest.
