This ethnographic study takes a holistic, comprehensive approach to understanding memories of the Gulag, and particularly the language of commemoration that surrounds it in present-day Russian society. It focuses on four regions of particular historical significance—the Solovetsky Islands, the Komi Republic, the Perm region, and Kolyma—to carefully explore how memories become a social phenomenon, how objects become heritage, and how the human need to create sites of memory has preserved the Gulag in specific ways today.Internment campsSoviet UnionPolitical prisonersSoviet UnionMemorializationRussia (Federation)Gulag.Postwar Soviet Union.Slavonic Studies.Soviet Union.Internment campsPolitical prisonersMemorialization365/.4509470904Bogumił Zuzanna1484068Palmer PhilipMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910793128003321Gulag memories3760645UNINA
