“It is the extraordinary testimony of a chapter in Soviet history, nine sailors abandoned in the Odessa ship, towed for years in the port of Naples. This merchant ship owned by a failed company and then seized by a court has been inhabited for years by a ghost crew surviving in extreme conditions.” (Leonardo di Costanzo)
