Abstract
The article considers the main daily practices of women political prisoners of Soviet prisons in the early years of Soviet power, reflected in the memoirs of the Socialist-Revolutionary, journalist and writer Olga Eliseevna Kolbasina-Chernova (1886–1964), the second wife of V.M. Chernov. She was imprisoned from 1920 to 1921. Her memoirs are not only an interesting historical, but also a sociological source identifying a number of aspects of prison daily life and the dominant daily practices that allowed women to adapt to the extreme conditions of imprisonment.
