Mkrtich Armen's "Moscow Inside" depicts the psychological solace of political prisoner Leonid Kozlov, who finds the camp's only beautiful structure—a gazebo reminiscent of Moscow parks—in the miserable yard. This "gazebo" becomes the site of his nightly ritual, where he weeps and mentally reconstructs his lost Moscow life. When a young guard finds him one night, Leonid shares his tragedy, establishing a human connection and entrusting the guard with the task of visiting the city he can only reach in his mind.
