Part of the rationale behind this system was that it could serve as slave labor in the drive for industrialization, while also serving as a form of punishment. The name Gulag is in fact an acronym, approximating to Main Administration of Camps (in Russian: Glavnoe Upravlenie Lagerei) and operated by the Soviet Unions Ministry of the Interior.[1] The Gulag consisted of internment camps, forced labor camps, psychiatric hospital facilities, and special laboratories, and its prisoners were known as zeks. Such was the closed and secretive nature of the Soviet state that to this day, knowledge of the Gulag system comes mainly from Western studies, firsthand accounts by prisoners such as Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, and some local studies after the fall of communism.The most recognisable version of the Gulag, a term that was never pluralized in Russia itself, existed from the 1930s-1950s, a period in which a huge network of camps and prisons was established across the vast Soviet federation. Prisoners were often used as forced labor, made to do physically arduous and soul-destroying tasks. Some workers helped to build large infrastructure projects, and indeed the system was partly rationalized in terms of economics.By the early 1960s, Gulags were synonymous with various forms of punishments, including house arrest, imprisonment in isolated places, or confinement to a mental hospital where a prisoner would be declared insane or diagnosed with a political form of psychosis. In its later years, the Gulags held a particular place in the publics imagination, both within the USSR and in the outside world. They could mean exile, brutal punishment, or simply being banished to Siberia....6792202Escaping the Gulags: The History of the Most Famous Attempts to Escape the Soviet Unions Notorious Labor Camps143143https://www.gandhi.com.mx/escaping-the-gulags--the-history-of-the-most-famous-attempts-to-escape-the-soviet-unions-notorious-labor-camps-9798347959839/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/6674726/image.jpg?v=638685348663370000InStockMXN99999DIAudiolibro20249798347959839_W3siaWQiOiIxYzdlZTA4Ni0yMTEyLTRjNGUtYjRkMC0zZDRiNmRiMmU5M2EiLCJsaXN0UHJpY2UiOjEzOSwiZGlzY291bnQiOjAsInNlbGxpbmdQcmljZSI6MTM5LCJpbmNsdWRlc1RheCI6dHJ1ZSwicHJpY2VUeXBlIjoiV2hvbGVzYWxlIiwiY3VycmVuY3kiOiJNWE4iLCJmcm9tIjoiMjAyNC0xMi0wMVQwMDowMDowMFoiLCJyZWdpb24iOiJNWCIsImlzUHJlb3JkZXIiOmZhbHNlLCJpc0VsaWdpYmxlRm9yQ3JlZGl0VHJpYWwiOnRydWUsImNyZWRpdFB1cmNoYXNlUHJpY2UiOjF9XQ==9798347959839_One of the most idiosyncratic horrors of Soviet Russia was the Gulag system, an extensive network of forced labor and concentration camps.
