How well do you know the darkest pages of our history? Finnish researchers of Soviet history Ville Ropponen and Ville-Juhani Sutinen know about them even better than we do, having set off on a large-scale journey in the wake of the Gulag. Traveling through the entire territory of the former Soviet Union in chronological order of the origin of the camps - from Solovki to Vorkuta, from Tomsk to Kolyma - they tell the story of the formation of a totalitarian machine and show how the memory of repression is perceived today. The study of the abandoned remains of the camps, visits to provincial museums, visits to memorials and cemeteries, conversations with local residents, historians and keepers of the memory of the Gulag, historical facts and memoirs of the repressed are woven into a unique and comprehensive journey through the history of Soviet terror. Half a travelogue, half a historical study, their book is a delicate and caring look at the heavy Soviet legacy that has not yet been fully overcome in modern Russia.
