This insightful volume offers a radical reassessment of the
infamous "Gulag Archipelago" by exploring the history of Vorkuta,
an arctic coal-mining outpost originally established in the 1930s
as a prison camp complex. Author Alan Barenberg's eye-opening study
reveals Vorkuta as an active urban center with a substantial
nonprisoner population where the borders separating camp and city
were contested and permeable, enabling prisoners to establish
social connections that would eventually aid them in their
transitions to civilian life. With this book, Barenberg makes an
important historical contribution to our understanding of forced
labor in the Soviet Union and its enduring legacy.
