Illness and Inhumanity in Stalin's Gulag
Golfo Alexopoulos
A new and chilling study of lethal human exploitation in the Soviet forced labor camps, one of the pillars of Stalinist terror
In a shocking new study of life and death in Stalin’s Gulag, historian Golfo Alexopoulos suggests that Soviet forced labor camps were driven by brutal exploitation and often administered as death camps. The first study to examine the Gulag penal system through the lens of health, medicine, and human exploitation, this extraordinary work draws from previously inaccessible archives to offer a chilling new view of one of the pillars of Stalinist terror.
