Days and Lives in Stalin’s Gulags
I am absolutely blown away by the impressive online exhibit Gulag: Many Days, Many Lives, a moving portrayal of the Stalinist prison experience brought to us courtesy of the Center for History and New Media at George Mason University, in collaboration with the Russian NGO Memorial. I highly recommend that readers give the site a thorough visit. There is such abundant and important material there that we will probably revisit many times for items of discussion. Below, a video and transcript depicting what it was like to be awoken in the middle of the night and dragged off to one of these dreaded prison camps.
