What were russian/soviet gulags?
I have to do some summer homework, write a small essay on gulags. The problem is that I cant find a good reliable site on them. Can anyone tell me of a good site?
More than 14 million people passed through the Gulag from 1929 to 1953, with a further 6 to 7 million being deported and exiled to remote areas of the USSR.[9] According to a 1993 study of incomplete archival Soviet data, a total of 1,053,829 people died in the Gulag from 1934 to 1953.[6] More complete data puts the death toll for this same time period at 1,258,537, with an estimated 1.6 million casualties from 1929 to 1953.[10] These estimates exclude those who died shortly after their release but whose death resulted from the harsh treatment in the camps;[11] such deaths happened frequently.[12] The total population of the camps varied from 510,307 (in 1934) to 1,727,970 (in 1953).[6] Most Gulag inmates were not political prisoners, although the political prisoner population was always significant.[13] People could be imprisoned in a Gulag camp for crimes such as petty theft, unexcused absences from work, and anti-government jokes.[14] About half of the political prisoners were sent to Gulag prison camps without trial; official data suggest that there were more than 2.6 million imprisonment sentences in cases investigated by the secret police, 1921-1953.[15] The Gulag was radically reduced in size following Stalin’s death in 1953. In 1960 the Soviet-wide MVD (oversight organization for the Gulag) was shut down in favor of individual republic MVD (Ministry of Interior). The nationwide centralized command detention facilities (Gulag) temporarily ceased to function.[16] Political prisoners also continued to be held in the Soviet Union during the Gorbachev era.[17
