Many people can relate to knowing bosses that are ruthless and not caring. That is the same problem that Ivan Denisovich had. The character I was talking about is Volkovoi. He was a very unruly, sadistic, and demanding person. He is a Lieutenant in the Siberian Prisoner of War camp after the Second World War. He was undoubtedly the worst behaved person in the the book of One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich. The reason I say this is because he is the most relatable person.
The first characteristic of Volkovoi is unruly. The definition of unruly is someone who does not listen to the rules. This is the perfect definition of Volkovoi. The reason is because he was tested many times by other prisoners in saying what he was doing is unlawful. All Volkovoy did was tell him to shut up and he did not take any fear in it.

God had named the bastard appropriately.” The translation of his name is Wolf. By saying this it is saying he is ferocious. He would also scare the prisoners by watching them and jumping out of nowhere. There are many more examples of him being sadistic. Another is that during the harshest of winters he would strip the prisoners down to their bare
