In the published document, the author conveys to the readers the activities of the Czechoslovak camp for Slovaks in Irkutsk, which existed from September 1918 to May 1919 and fulfilled an educational and recruitment function among the Slovak prisoners of war in Russia. His aim was to get them to join the Czechoslovak legions, which would increase the number of Slovaks among the legionaries. During its existence, well-known Slovak legionaries such as F. Čatloš, B. Manica, P. Kuna, J. Tvarožek, J. Croat, M. Lajda, J. Kustra, J. Teplický and others served there. An authentic report on the camp was written by one of its commanders – V. Daxner. It dealt in detail with everyday camp life, its problems as well as the mood prevailing among the Slovaks who passed through it.
