Soviet Gulags

I came across a very interesting collection of photos from the old Soviet gulags. There isn’t much for me to say about this because I honestly don’t know a lot about the gulags or Soviet era Russian history. I just think the photos are great–not the highest quality, of course, but gut wrenching in the same way as photos from the holocaust or modern war zones. The photos were taken between 1927 and 1953. They come with very little description but I highly recommend that you take a few moments to look through them.
