Shukhov Ivan Denisovich wakes up at 5 o'clock in the morning.He is in Siberia, in a camp for political prisoners. Today, Ivan Denisovich feels unwell. He wants to lie in bed longer. However, a guard, a Tatar, finds him there and sends him to the floor in the guardhouse. Nevertheless, Shukhov is glad that he managed to avoid a punishment cell. He goes to a medical assistant Vdovushkina to get an exemption from work. Vdovushkin measures his temperature and says that it is low. Shukhov then goes to the dining room.

His wife writes that those who returned from the war do not want to go to the collective farm, all young people go to work either at the factory or in the city. Guys do not seek to remain on the farm. Many of them trade by stenciling carpets, and this brings good income. Spouse Shukhov hopes that her husband will return from the camp and also will be engaged in this "fishing", and finally they will live richly.

All people's thoughts are focused on getting food. They feed very little and badly. They give, for example, balanda with small fish and frozen cabbage. The art of living here is to get an extra bowl of cereal or rations.
In the camp, collective work is based onas much as possible to reduce the period from one meal to another. In addition, in order not to freeze, you should move. You need to be able to work properly, so as not to overwork. However, even in such difficult conditions of the camp, people do not lose the natural joy of perfect work. We see this, for example, in a scene where a team builds a house. In order to survive, you must be more agile, smarter, smarter guards.
