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.

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...
评分这本书,你知道它的分量,清楚它的意义,却迟迟不敢翻开。因为它是一座山,翻越它不仅需要时间、需要忍耐、更需要极大的勇气。拿起这本大部头,我屡次开始,又屡次中止,往往一个片段或是一个场景的还原描述,就足以让我落荒而逃。我只能这样鼓励着自己:翻越它,你看到的世界...
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...
评分到2016年圣诞节,苏联解体已经过去25年了。在这个时代说起纳粹的集中营,几乎没有人会为之辩护。但是说到古拉格,你可以找到一堆奇谈怪论的说词。我觉得任何人谈到古拉格应该像谈到纳粹的集中营一样。马加丹,沃尔库塔,诺里尔斯克这样的名字应该与奥斯维辛,布痕瓦尔德...
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
