A Brief History of the Gulag
19.99 €
The history of the Gulag is a story of martyrdom and broken lives. It is a story of children growing up without parents in prison-like orphanages. It is a story of the brutal fanaticism of executioners. Finally, it is a story of how abstract ideas about "universal happiness" turned—through total violence—into lawlessness, injustice, and terror, seemingly unthinkable in an era of social, scientific, and technological progress. The authors systematically analyze the Gulag phenomenon, drawing on materials from various archives, and for the first time in scholarly literature, using strictly documentary evidence, they reveal the mechanisms of the forced labor camps. They call their work brief, believing the history of the Gulag to be inexhaustible, and they avoid political judgments, leaving the reader to draw their own conclusions about the tragic events that affected millions of families in our country.
Viktor Berdinskikh is a Doctor of Historical Sciences and a professor. Vladimir Veremyev is an archivist and a longtime employee of the Penitentiary Service.
