Varlam Sharlamov was a Russian writer, journalist, poet and Gulag survivor. He was imprisoned a few times in forced-labor camps in the arctic region of Kolyma. He wrote a lot of short stories about his experiences in these camps, one of them is the short story "Condensed Milk".

The story is written in the first point of view, it is an episode of a Russian prisoner's life. The main theme is the description of the emptiness of a prisoner's life before death. He craved for material satisfaction to lessen the empty, scorched feeling inside. All the prisoner wanted is to escape, but what he was offered by an old acquaintance is the escape in the form of condensed milk. The condensed milk is a symbol of the last joy in the midst of impending death.

I hope it helped you :)

The theme of the story is emotional survival.

The theme of a story simply means the main message in the story. The story is about prisoners who were planning to escape from prisons, and were privileged when they were offered condensed milk in prison which they shared.The milk they shared illustrated the materials things that they do not have access to anymore. The story illustrated the emotional survival of the prisoners as they tried to do the things that will lighten up their spirit.
