Alexander Solzhenitsyn
THE GULAG ARCHIPELAGO
There have been numerous accounts of life in Soviet prisons and camps but none which so illuminates the nature of the system, nor any that provide such a brilliant, integrated array of detail about the way in which it actually killed or deformed the lives of millions.
The "Archipelago" of Solzhenitsyn's work is that system of secret police installations, camps, prisons, transit centres, communications facilities, transport systems and espionage organisations which, honeycombed the length and breadth of the Soviet Union, and which in effect comprised a state within a state.
