Veprik was arrested as a "Jewish nationalist" in 1950, maltreated in prison and then deported to the Gulag.
He was released from hard labor and instead had to organize an amateur orchestra among the prisoners.[2]
In April 1954, Vepryk's case was reviewed and he was acquitted.
In September 1954 he returned sick and weary to Moscow, to a world in which Jewish culture had no place
