A forbidding landscape, more so thinking of a metre or so of snow and -40C!

The worst Gulags, basically death camps. I've read quite a bit about them. What hell. Anyway, an interesting photo and I find those old Soviet-era signs interesting.

Diana Australis ^club has replied to Diane Putnam ^club

Yes..they have an appalling history, and are so very, very remote.
It was so very, very interesting to be there....

Especially when the history is known!

Just in case anyone is interested in reading the most comprehensive history of the Gulags, I'd suggest Anne Appelbaum's GULAG. For a first-hand account of his time in a far east gulag, Varlam Shalamov's Kolyma Tales. Grim, but fascinating (I like this sort of thing)!

et aussi "Article 58" de V.Chalamov

Diana Australis ^club has replied to Sylvain Wiart

Thanks Diane. I'll try and get hold of one ...or both. I'm primarily a non fiction reader. I Like travel, history, geography, interesting biographies ....

Merci aussi Sylvain
