The vast network of camps dotted around the entire territory of the USSR consisted of more than 50 camp administrations running hundreds or even thousands of individual camps (estimates of the total number are as high as 30,000). The prisoners’ slave labour was used in timber production and mining and on gigantic construction projects (the White Sea Canal, dams, motorways, and railways). After Stalin’s death in 1953, the number of prisoners declined considerably and the Gulag was officially done away with in 1960.

If a local museum is closed (this happens occasioannly and unpredictably) a local historian will provide information about GULAG in the area and show relevant artefacts.
