In this book, researchers from the United States, France, Germany, South Korea, and the United Kingdom consider the Gulag as a distinct historical and cultural phenomenon. The Soviet camp system appears in a wide variety of its specific manifestations and is compared with similar systems of different countries and eras - from India and Africa in the XNUMXth century to Germany and North Korea in the XNUMXth century. Readers will be able to get acquainted with the stories of prisoners and guards, learn how the food distribution system was organized, plunge into the visual history of the camps and make sure that the Gulag has 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 present the Russian reader with a new, third-party look at many social, legal, moral and other phenomena of Soviet life, thereby opening up new horizons for understanding the history of the twentieth century.
