About the product Ann Applebaum’s book is not only a complete history of the Soviet camp system in development, based on archival documents and eyewitness memories, from its creation in 1918 to the mid-eighties. No less thoroughly than the chronology and geography of the Gulag, the author tries to restore the logic of the executioners and victims, to understand what made them kill and what helped to survive. Applebaum gives the floor to the Russians and Americans, Poles and Jews, Communists and anti-Communists who have passed through the camps, and their testimonies add up to a picture that is incredible in integrity and impact. This is a detailed description of the world of the zone with its laws and unspoken rules, a special language and hierarchy. “GULAG” by Ann Applebaum was awarded the Pulitzer Prize and has been translated into dozens of languages.
