Answer:

Note: There was no much emphasis or mention about the cast's cultural background. Certain aspects are based on assumptions. I feel that the historical background is seen most important, to understand the cast's behavior.

Explanation:

Russian author Varlam Shalamov wrote a short story on Condensed Milk. Shalamov spent 15 years of life in Gulag, a camp where Russian forced-labor was being operated. This story narrates his terrifying experiences.

<u>He was a political person</u>, which shows that he was not a regular criminal but has been arrested as a thief. The treatment given to a thief was better than what he has been through. He was <u>arrested based on suspicion </u>as the <u>Stalin Government found him as a threat</u> though he was considered an enemy amongst the people. This is <u>because of expressing his opinion that the Soviet Regime considered/felt inappropriate</u>. Shalamov d<u>emonstrated his brilliance </u>despite his <u>deteriorating health at the camp</u>. He was offered help to escape but wasn't fooled either. He lived amongst people whom he couldn't trust anymore.

While going through a harrowing treatment at the camp, the combatant realized that Shestakov was setting a trap. Shestakov was the only person with an office job with privileges. During those times, <u>being with privileges was considered being good with the government</u> and its people. Shalamov was afraid of Shestakov, as they were the only ones working in the field where Shestakov is trained. Shalamov was incredulous as to who had assigned Sestakov for the training and what he might have been offered?. Everything in the camp had to be paid with either another man's blood or his life.

<u>Shalamov through his brilliance and awareness of the governments and people saved the combatant</u>. He asks for a can of condensed milk as he was starving, pleading to regain his strength to move along with Shestakov and others.

Quote: "There are lots of different tinned foods—meat, fish, fruit, vegetables—but the best of all is milk, condensed milk. Condensed milk doesn’t have to be mixed with boiling water. You eat it with a spoon, or spread it on bread, or swallow it drop by drop from the tin, eating it slowly, watching the bright liquid mass turn yellow with starry little drops of sugar forming on the can. . . ."

After getting 2 cans, Shalamov said to Shestakov that he is not going anywhere. However, Shestakov found himself to be unharmed and nothing happened to him.

Use it describing the way someone rode something. "But Tait had none of Tillotson's gentleness, and he rode roughshod over the obstacles in his way." (That sentence is from yourdictionary.com by the way :) )
