Not much is said about the protagonist's cultural background in "Condensed Milk". He does refer to himself and other prisoners as "politicals":
'There was no reason for us politicals to be there . . .' This most likely means the protagonist is an educated man, possibly a writer or a journalist whose words and work was deemed dangerous by the Russian government.
Such a background helps the protagonist understand how things really work at the camp. He knows the offer to escape is a trap. He is smart and cunning enough to get some condensed milk out of the deal and then to break it off. He uses his intelligence to stay alive a little longer.
<h3>Who is
Varlam Shalamov?</h3>
"Condensed Milk" is a short story by Russian author Varlam Shalamov (1907-1982). It was written based on the author's experience as a prisoner at a Gulag, a forced-labor camp.
The name and previous history of the protagonist are not revealed. He does not belong to the same group as the thieves, for example. He was arrested for being "political", which leads to assumptions about his background. He is most likely educated, which means he can be seen as a threat to the government for having his own opinions and the power to express them.
In conclusion, the protagonist of "Condensed Milk" uses his intelligence and knowledge to remain alive.

<span>omgggg bro what did you do LOL
You’re obviously not mentally stable if you think making fun of people that actually have __ is ok. You don’t even make sense. It's “in the house,” not "on the house." “ And with “does it not make sense to your autistic self,” you forgot the question mark… and you have the audacity to call me dumb, which is sad. I hope you get help because if you think ___is fine and making fun of others is good then you were raised like trash, and like most insecure people you have to make others feel bad in order for you to feel good. Don’t at me any more low life.
fixed it up a bit hope that helps lol</span>
