Chervinskiene’s book discusses her experiences being deported to the Altai region and Yakutia, part of the wave of deportations from Lithuania that began in the fateful year of 1941. The early traumatic experience determined not only the author’s further personal life but also her professional choice. It is stated that the chosen field of scientific and creative interests of the expert on classical Russian literature, author of books and articles about L. Tolstoy, F. Dostoevsky and A. Chekhov, was also shaped by the all of the human experience gained during this tragic stage of her life. В статье на основе книги воспоминанийСила слабыхпрофессора кафедры русской литературы Вильнюсского университета Елены Червинскене рассказывается о том, как ссылка в далекие края Алтая и Якутии в роковом для Литвы 1941 г. сыграла решающую роль не только в дальнейшей личной жизни автора, но и в ее профессиональном выборе. Утверждается, что поле научных и творческих интересов специалиста по классической русской литературе, автора книг и статей о Л. Толстом, Ф. Достоевском и А. Чехове сформировал жизненный опыт, накопленный в этот трагический период ее жизни.
