From its creation in 1930 to its partial dismantling in the mid-1950s, approximately 25 million people passed through the Gulag. Prisoners and exiles were forced to work in brutal conditions, and millions perished. Although the majority of prisoners and exiles were released after Stalin's death, this was not an end to their struggles. Survivors attempted to reintegrate themselves into a Soviet political, social, and economic system that was hardly welcoming. Although some former prisoners wrote or spoke about their experiences in the years and decades after release, it was not until after the collapse of the Soviet Union that a full reckoning became possible." -- |cProvided by publisher. 505 0 What was the Gulag? -- The origins and evolution of the Stalinist Gulag -- The people of the Gulag -- Survival, illness, and death -- Economics and labor in the Gulag -- After the Stalinist Gulag. 650 0 Political prisoners |zSoviet Union |xHistory. 650 0 Prisons |zSoviet Union |xHistory. 650 0 Internment camps |zSoviet Union. 650 6 Prisonniers politiques |0(CaQQLa)201-0028856 |zURSS |0(CaQQLa)201-0439897 |xHistoire. |0(CaQQLa)201-0378888 650 6 Prisons |0(CaQQLa)201-0061246 |zURSS |0(CaQQLa)201-0439897 |xHistoire. |0(CaQQLa)201-0378888 650 6 Camps d'internement |zURSS. |0(CaQQLa)000331612 710 2 Oxford University Press, |epublisher. 830 0 Very short introductions 902 960024329 |wcopy |120240724132921.0 910 |cC0710mon |d3110-10 |gYBP 914 (OCoLC)on1374423143 |bOCoLC |cmatch |d20240807 |eprocessed |f1374423143 961 |fASP |m311010 |nPaper 980 19657577 |i12.99 982 |cf 984 20240417 |b124001 |cYBP-US
