In prisons - Tyumen, Ekaterinburg, Tomsk and at the stages Nekhludoff saw the goal seemed to have set itself the society successfully achieved. The people are simple, ordinary, with the requirements of the Russian public, peasant, Christian morality, leaving these concepts and assimilate new, cautious, including, most importantly, that all the reproach and violence against human personality, every destruction is allowed when it is beneficial. People who had lived in prison, his entire being knew that, judging by what is happening above them, all those moral laws of respect and compassion for the person who proposedida and the Church and the moral teachers, in fact reversed, and that therefore they should not stay on them. Nekhludoff saw that he knew all the prisoners: on the Fedorov, on Makar, and even on Taras, who, after spending two months on the steps, struck Nekhludoff by the immorality of their judgments. Dear Nekhludoff learned how tramps, escaping into the forest, talk with you friends and then killing them, eating their meat. He saw a living man who was accused and confessed to it. And worse of all was that the cases of cannibalism were not rare, and constantly repeated.
