Inside The Terrifying Life of a Soviet Gulag Prisoner
Blistering cold to freeze a person to death, meager rations of stale bread, the violent danger of hardened criminals at every turn, and no contact with the outside world – these are just some of the conditions faced in the infamous labor camps of Arctic Siberia. Welcome to Bizarre History, today we are going to look at the day-to-day life of prisoners interned in the Soviet Gulag.
The term gulag has become a little weakened over time. Modern usage of the term probably indicates a prison of undesirable conditions. Now, that’s not a bad starting point for what we’re talking about, but it isn’t the entire truth. The Gulag was a system invented by Vladimir Lenin in the 1920s following World War I. Its actual birth was not the naming of places or locations but a government agency set up to implement forced labor in networks of camps. In English, Gulag is the term for all forced labor camps found in Russia, where they were used as tools of political oppression and no more so, than under the rule of Joseph Stalin. In the 1920s the population of the Gulags grew as high as 100,000 people. Come the late 1940’s as many as 1.4 million people would have been interned.
