Long walk by slavomir rawicz5/20/2023 ![]() “The Real Long Walk”, with a subtitle “Fifty years on, a mystery is solved and a hero is revealed”.ĭespite the suggestive title of the above article, not a single fact which referred to Glinski’s stay in exile, including his escape from an unspecified labour camp near Yakutsk had confirmation by archives, or from any other credible source. ![]() His first published version which unexpectedly descended upon the readers, was written by John Dyson in May 2009 issue of the Reader’s Digest under an alluring title: It may be even appropriate to say that Glinski was extraordinarily generous to his interviewers by providing each of them with a different version, or versions, of his “experiences”. ![]() There were also three or four other versions with which Glinski favoured Linda Willis, for her book “Looking for Mr.Smith” published in November 2010. ![]() All diametrically different from Rawicz’s version, and from each subsequent version which Glinski presented to the willing reporters and others. The saga of The Long Walk, the escape of seven prisoners from a soviet prison camp near Yakutsk (Siberia) in 1941, have been presented by now in many shades of grey either by Slavomir Rawicz in the book “The Long Walk” published in 1956, or verbally from 2009 onward, by Witold Glinski in a number of different versions. ![]()
