More than half a century after the end of Stalinist terror, the geography of the Gulag has been barely sketched and the number of its victims remains unknown. Has the Gulag been forgotten?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWriter Masha Gessen and photographer Misha Friedman set out across Russia in search of the memory of the Gulag. They journey from Moscow to Sandarmokh, a forested site of mass executions during Stalin's Great Terror; to the only Gulag camp turned into a museum, outside of the city of Perm in the Urals; and to Kolyma, where prisoners worked in deadly mines in the remote reaches of the Far East. They find that in Vladimir Putin's Russia, where Stalin is remembered as a great leader, Soviet terror has not been forgotten: it was never remembered in the first place.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ray Kent","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47029964243184,"sku":"9780997722963","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780997722963_p0.jpg?v=1763892237","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780997722963","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
