Gulag - In the labor camps of the Soviet Union (F 2017)

[Hans1906]

Probably interesting for the forum:

Gulag
In den Arbeitslagern der Sowjetunion / In the labor camps of the Soviet Union

Even the Russian tsars had political opponents perform forced labor in camps in Siberia. But in the Soviet Union, the camps took on a new dimension: The Gulag, the network of Soviet penal and labor camps, became a state within a state, whose existence was denied for decades. The prisoners were supposed to make their contribution to the "construction of socialism" there. Instead, many found death.
