Stalin's reign of terror in the Soviet Union has been called 'the
other Holocaust'. During the Stalin years, it is thought that more
innocent men, women and children perished than in Hitler's
destruction of the European Jews. Many millions died in Stalin's
Gulag of torture prisons and forced-labour camps, yet others
survived and were freed after his death in 1953. This book is the
story of the survivors. Long kept secret by Soviet repression and
censorship, it is now told by renowned author and historian Stephen
F. Cohen, who came to know many former Gulag inmates during his
frequent trips to Moscow over a period of thirty years. Based on
first-hand interviews with the victims themselves and on newly
available materials, Cohen provides a powerful narrative of the
survivors' post-Gulag saga, from their liberation and return to
Soviet society, to their long struggle to salvage what remained of
their shattered lives and to obtain justice. Spanning more than
fifty years, "The Victims Return" combines individual stories with
the fierce political conflicts that raged, both in society and in
the Kremlin, over the victims of the terror and the people who had
victimized them. This compelling book will be essential reading for
anyone interested in Russian history.
