Reshetko Ivan Semenovich described Azaryčy as a forest-swamp terrain. It was not allowed to build leaf huts, and it was forbidden to make fires at night, axes were taken away. The camp was surrounded by a row of barbed wire, mined from the outside. They received no food except bread – twice 200 grams each. Bread was given only to those who could get it themselves.
