The Gulag—the vast array of Soviet concentration camps—was a system of repression and punishment whose rationalized evil and institutionalized inhumanity were rivaled only by the Holocaust.
The Gulag entered the world’s historical consciousness in 1972, with the publication of Alexander Solzhenitsyn’s epic oral history of the Soviet camps, The Gulag Archipelago . Since the collapse of the Soviet Union, dozens of memoirs and new studies covering aspects of that system have been published in Russia and the West. Using these new resources as well as her own original historical research, Anne Applebaum has now undertaken, for the first time, a fully documented history of the Soviet camp system, from its origins in the Russian Revolution to its collapse in the era of glasnost. It is an epic feat of investigation and moral reckoning that places the Gulag where it belongs: at the center of our understanding of the troubled history of the twentieth century.
Anne Applebaum first lays out the chronological history of the camps and the logic behind their creation, enlargement, and maintenance. The Gulag was first put in place in 1918 after the Russian Revolution. In 1929, Stalin personally decided to expand the camp system, both to use forced labor to accelerate Soviet industrialization and to exploit the natural resources of the country’s barely habitable far northern regions. By the end of the 1930s, labor camps could be found in all twelve of the Soviet Union’s time zones. The system continued to expand throughout the war years, reaching its height only in the early 1950s. From 1929 until the death of Stalin in 1953, some 18 million people passed through this massive system. Of these 18 million, it is estimated that 4.5 million never returned.
But the Gulag was not just an economic institution. It also became, over time, a country within a country, almost a separate civilization, with its own laws, customs, literature, folklore, slang, and morality. Topic by topic, Anne Applebaum also examines how life was lived within this shadow country: how prisoners worked, how they ate, where they lived, how they died, how they survived. She examines their guards and their jailers, the horrors of transportation in empty cattle cars, the strange nature of Soviet arrests and trials, the impact of World War II, the relations between different national and religious groups, and the escapes, as well as the extraordinary rebellions that took place in the 1950s. She concludes by examining the disturbing question why the Gulag has remained relatively obscure, in the historical memory of both the former Soviet Union and the West.
Gulag: A History will immediately be recognized as a landmark work of historical scholarship and an indelible contribution to the complex, ongoing, necessary quest for truth.
意大利著名作家,同时也是奥斯维辛集中营的幸存者普利莫·莱维,在他自杀前的最后一部著作中反复提到一个集体梦魇似的场景。他和那些囚犯生活在奥斯维辛时总是梦到,他们回到了家,向所爱的人讲述自己的苦难,但是没人相信发生在他们身上的故事。就在那一刻,他才深刻意识到集...
评分作者很客观的节选和编排了当事人回忆录。 不得不说,章节编排的很好,循序渐进。从开始一直讲到古拉格体系崩溃和后记。 每个章节中尽量出现不同观点双方的回忆录,这样做虽然做到了客观,但也使读者不知道哪一种是更为普遍。 在这样的科学编排下 大致印象是前期政治犯的特殊待...

评分泰奥多•阿多诺说,“奥斯维辛之后,写诗也是野蛮的。”可能《古拉格:一部历史》的读者会更为领会这句名言,在啃完这部厚达700多页、甚至能算得上畅销的著作后,豆瓣上的评论竟然只有区区17篇,读书小组的小伙伴们也都不知道该写什么好。仔细想想,好像也挺合乎情理,当我们...
评分以前从来没有了解过俄罗斯的历史,突然间翻到了《古拉格》,觉得好神奇的名字,就回来买了电子书来看。 结果迅速被这段历史情节迷住了,这段历史堪称德国的集中营。 古拉格实质就是一种国家奴隶制。里面描写的场景都是很血腥的画面,生命仿佛失去了意义,变成了一种...
本作最大的问题在于Applebaum并未揭示古拉格是社会“常态”(Normality),血淋淋的数据以及当事人的相关回忆等高能素材反而冲淡了历史的张力——“古拉格是劳作而非杀人之所”并非无稽之谈,应该引起重视的则是这种言论产生的背景、原因以及效果
评分第一次认识安妮姨,以为她是Core Conservative那种,结果看了下推特……
