Of the hundreds of thousands of Ukrainian women were sentenced to
the Gulag in the 1940s and 1950s, only half survived. In Survival
as Victory, Oksana Kis has produced the first anthropological study
of daily life in the Soviet forced labor camps as experienced by
Ukrainian women prisoners. Based on the written memoirs,
autobiographies, and oral histories of over 150 survivors, this
book fills a lacuna in the scholarship regarding Ukrainian
experience. Kis details the women's resistance to the brutality of
camp conditions not only through the preservation of customs and
traditions from everyday home life, but also through the frequent
elision of regional and confessional differences. Following the
groundbreaking work of Anne Applebaum's Gulag: A History (2003),
this book is a must-read for anyone interested in gendered
strategies of survival, accommodation, and resistance to the
dehumanizing effects of the Gulag.
