1. 1. Labour And The Gulag

   

   Drawing on recently opened archives and eyewitness accounts, this book traces the growth and mechanics of the Soviet forced-labour system across the 1930s to the postwar era, showing how mass imprisonment and coerced labour became central to industrialisation and political repression. It documents the harsh conditions, large-scale projects (canals, mines, infrastructure) built by prisoners, the administrative structures that ran the camps, and the human cost in lives and suffering, arguing that forced labour was a core instrument of Soviet economic policy and state control rather than a peripheral atrocity.
