In this book, researchers from the United States, France, Germany, South Korea, and the United Kingdom examine the Gulag as a distinct historical and cultural phenomenon. The Soviet camp system is presented in a wide variety of specific manifestations and compared to similar systems in different countries and eras, from India and Africa in the nineteenth century to Germany and North Korea in the twentieth century. Readers will learn the stories of prisoners and guards, discover how the food distribution system was organized, delve into a visual history of the camps, and become convinced that the Gulag had not only deep historical origins and multiple typological parallels, but also long-term consequences. By placing the Soviet camp system in a broad historical, geographical, and cultural context, the authors of this book provide Russian readers with a new, outsider's perspective on the many social, legal, moral, and other phenomena of Soviet life, thus opening new horizons for understanding the history of the twentieth century.
