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.
Finalist for the 2003 National Book Award, Nonfiction.

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.

古拉格從一成立起就是某種法外的經濟組織,是自負盈虧的。契卡/OGPU再有錢,你能每個月給這麼多犯人買單?何況索羅維茨基一年就能虧160萬盧布,要不是納夫塔裡·富蘭克爾努力提升犯人工作量,契卡早就倒閉了。在這個意義上有錢人還能買些自由,但是這些錢不夠的時候那就不能用...

评分大多数人是从索尔仁尼琴的回忆录中知道古拉格的,它是“劳改营管理总局”俄语首字母的缩写,泛指它管理下的劳改营。从1929到1953年,超过1400万人曾被囚禁在这里, “鼎盛”时期,476座集中营遍及苏联每个时区,戈尔巴乔夫就是一名古拉格囚犯的孙子。 进入古拉格不需要太复杂...

评分我曾不止一次讲过三十年前的事:索尔仁尼琴著《古拉格群岛》中译本出版,内部发行,限副局级以上干部凭工作证购买。我所在的报社是局级单位,央求一位不很熟悉的领导同去东长安街的群众出版社读者服务部方才购得一套。当夜开读,时为严冬,感觉如冰水浇背,读完竟大病一...
每个人都应该读一读。
评分震撼的历史。没人翻译么,这么精彩的一本书……
评分沉重的历史,泯灭的人性
评分原书不用说了,经典。个人觉得,最前头的序章和最末尾的反思部分是精华,分别讨论两个问题:1. 西方为什么对纳粹(极右)的容忍度低,对苏联(极左)的容忍度高。2. 俄罗斯为什么很少公开反思和谴责苏联罪恶,甚至怀旧和粉饰(作者的一个答案是:因为当年的罪犯及其后人仍然掌权)
评分anne applebaum应该是黑苏联的好手,另外一部the iron curtain好像也是她写的,
