"This is an important and ground-breaking study of the catastrophe
of the Stalinist Gulag. Golfo Alexopoulos demonstrates how the
ruthless exploitation of prisoners, hunger, and a lack of medical
care turned Stalinist camps into 'destructive-labor camps.' I am
certain that this book’s findings about Gulag medicine and the true
scale of prisoner mortality will be widely cited and
discussed."—Oleg Khlevniuk, National Research University Higher
School of Economics (Russian Federation) and author of Stalin: New
Biography of a Dictator
“A well-researched, clearly written book providing a fresh and
provocative reinterpretation of the Soviet system of forced labor
camps and colonies.”—Alan Barenberg, author of Gulag Town, Company
Town: Forced Labor and Its Legacy in Vorkuta
