Biography
Anne Applebaum is a columnist and member of the editorial board of The Washington Post.
She began working as a journalist in 1988, when she moved to Poland to become the Warsaw correspondent for the Economist. She eventually covered the collapse of communism across Central and Eastern Europe, writing for a wide range of newspapers and magazines.
Returning to London in 1992, she became the Foreign Editor, and later Deputy Editor, of the Spectator magazine. Following that, she wrote a weekly column on British politics and foreign affairs, which appeared at different times in the Daily Telegraph, the Sunday Telegraph, and the Evening Standard newspapers. She covered the 1997 British election campaign as the Evening Standard's political editor. For several years, she wrote the "Foreigners" column in Slate magazine.
Her first book, Between East and West: Across the Borderlands of Europe, described a journey through Lithuania, Ukraine and Belarus, then on the verge of independence. Her second book, Gulag: A History, narrates the history of the Soviet concentration camp system and describes daily life in the camps. It makes extensive use of recently-opened Russian archives.
Over the years, her writing has appeared in The Wall Street Journal, The Financial Times, The International Herald Tribune, Foreign Affairs, The Boston Globe, The Independent, The Guardian, Commentaire, Suddeutsche Zeitung, Newsweek, The New Criterion, The Weekly Standard, The New Republic, The New York Review of Books, The National Review, The New Statesman, The Times Literary Supplement and the Literary Review, among others. She has appeared as a guest and as a presenter on many radio and television programs, among them BBC's Newsnight, The Today Progamme, The Week in Westminster, as well as CNN, MSNBC, CBS and Sky News.
Anne Applebaum was born in Washington, D.C. in 1964. After graduating from Yale University, she was a Marshall Scholar at the London School of Economics and St. Antony's College, Oxford. In 1992 she won the Charles Douglas-Home Memorial Trust award for journalism in the ex-Soviet Union. Between East and West won an Adolph Bentinck prize for European non-fiction in 1996. Her husband, Radek Sikorski, is a Polish politician and writer. They have two children, Alexander and Tadeusz.

The Gulag—a vast array of Soviet concentration camps that held millions of political and criminal prisoners—was a system of repression and punishment that terrorized the entire society, embodying the worst tendencies of Soviet communism. In this magisterial and acclaimed history, Anne Applebaum offers the first fully documented portrait of the Gulag, from its origins in the Russian Revolution, through its expansion under Stalin, to its collapse in the era of glasnost. Applebaum intimately re-creates what life was like in the camps and links them to the larger history of the Soviet Union. Immediately recognized as a landmark and long-overdue work of scholarship, Gulag is an essential book for anyone who wishes to understand the history of the twentieth century.
Winner of the 2004 Pulitzer Prize for General Nonfiction.

古拉格的发展可以大致分为以下阶段:列宁时代的古拉格有很强乌托邦幻想色彩并追求经济效益(虽然基本赔本),意图用一种劳动改造取代监狱,很讽刺的是富农可以利用资产获得非常优渥的住宿条件,而政治犯也被特别对待,劳动重负结果压倒了“犯罪”贫农(主要是偷窃,偷懒)身上。 斯...
评分古拉格,文蛤,红色高棉,以及其他大屠杀,或许每一次悲剧事件都有各自的历史哲学文化根源,然而内容却是相差无几的。 劳改营也有自己的生态,等级制度,甚至亚文化群体。 对生命和物质资源骇人听闻的浪费。 僵化的条例那张无聊的面孔,此时露出獠牙。 饥饿是永远的主题,那些...
评分又是古拉格啊。 刚看到书名时我的第一反应如上,然后下一个念头就是“不知道和古拉格群岛有什么不同”——毕竟索尔仁尼琴的那本书给人印象太深了。 买回来看完之后发现确实有不同,比起索尔仁尼琴的回忆录手法和布尔加科夫的文学手法,这本书作为一本严肃的历史纪实著作要更为...
评分在我看来,“古拉格”代表着一种违背天理、国法、人情的畸形社会系统。这本书讲述前苏联古拉格,以其创建到灭亡为主线,搜集大量资料以及案例,通过当事人的故事以及作者的描述,完整地刻画出“古拉格”这个体系以及社会现象的面貌。所有有良知的人,在阅读完这部作品之后,都...
评分版权归作者所有,任何形式转载请联系作者。 作者:宸轻箫(来自豆瓣) 来源:https://www.douban.com/note/599815969/ 从某种程度上来说,禁书反而是一个风向标,告诉我们,他们在害怕什么,掩饰什么。比如年末猝不及防的一波古拉格下架潮。关于古拉格题材的图书,国内其实早...
穿越古拉格这一页需要太多勇气,大量的文献回忆录和访谈展现出的罕见严谨足以媲美学术著作。古拉格之于苏联一如文革之于我们,必须要不断被提起被研究被质问,只有这样,前人方能忏悔,今人才能反思,后人不致重复。借用书中一句话,杀人者还活着。杀人者永远活着。
评分看了半年!
评分28%
评分很努力的看完了,花了一个半月,原文实在太厚,总体值得阅读,可以了解与你想象不同的劳改营,也可以知道中国的劳动教养制度到底源自何处!
评分纳粹之恶,举世皆知,而与之不相伯仲的共产主义之恶,或说斯大林之恶,无论俄国人自己,还是西方,都还不情愿面对。作者力图表现列宁执政到苏东巨变这近七十年时间里,这个被缩称为“古拉格”的奴工体系,如何管理、折磨包括作奸犯科的罪犯,和以各种名义未经审判或刑讯逼供投入这个体系的所谓“政治犯”。政治犯们所受的折磨和最终无名地死亡,其惨已经无法用言语形容。作者耙梳史料、回忆录、公开文件,最终以史家般谨严的文字一桩桩描述出来,读来如入地狱。而读完以后,我简直如同脱胎换骨,看世界的眼光都不同了。
