Stalin's Dictatorships - Labour camps and Gulag

The Gulag is the government agency which managed and administrered the penal labour camps of the Soviet Union. They decided who should be sent to the camps and what labour should be carried out. The people who worked in the camps were all blamed for some crime, but many of them were innocent, the government just needed some workers.


Poem on the Labour camps:


All the fuzz was a camp
A camp where you had to work hard
In the night you wouldn't even have a lamp
Stalin thought it was smart
