Kolyma tales

[Pendergast, John J CIV USA USMA]

Not sure if you are planning to ask the students to draw any modern parallels, but it seems to me that the fate of the Pussy Riot singers offers a great deal of currency to the Kolyma Tales.

So, I am about to teach the Kolyma tales for the first time. I would love suggestions regarding the five or six tales colleagues in the list consider essential.
