Stalins Gulag at War places the Gulag within the story of the regional wartime mobilization of Western Siberia during the Second World War Far from Moscow Western Siberia was a key area for evacuated factories and for production in support of the war effort Wilson T Bell explores a diverse array of issues including mass death informal practices such as black markets and the responses of prisoners and personnel to the war The regions camps were never prioritized and faced a constant struggle to mobilize for the war Prisoners in these camps however engaged in such activities as sewing Red Army uniforms manufacturing artillery shells and constructing and working in major defense factories The myriad responses of prisoners and personnel to the war reveal the Gulag as a complex system but one that was closely tied to the local regional and national war effort to the point where prisoners and nonprisoners frequently interacted At nonpriority camps moreover the areas many forced labour camps and colonies saw catastrophic death rates often far exceeding official Gulag averages Ultimately prisoners played a tangible role in Soviet victory but the cost was incredibly high both in terms of the health and lives of the prisoners themselves and in terms of Stalins commitment to total often violent mobilization to achieve the goals of the Soviet state

Credit for much of Stalins aviation program lay with Andrei N Tupolev 18881972 one of Russias most talented aviation designers whose fortunes plummeted with those of his profession In the latter half of the decade the entire aeronautical establishment fell victim to the massive wave of arrests and killings known as the Great Purge Arrested in 1937 Tupolev was sent not to the notorious labor camps but to a sharaga or special prison established in Moscow specifically for aviation designers and engineersStalins Aviation Gulag is a sympathetic memoir of Tupolevs life and work by engineer LL Kerber whose collaboration with Tupolev spanned most of their careers At the heart of Kerbers chronicle is a description of the sharagas daily life which verged on the surreal Wellfed and wellclothed but supervised by Party and police functionaries with little knowledge of aviation Tupolev and his team of 150 specialists worked under the threat of harsh reprisal for the least setback Dependent on Stalins whims permitted only infrequent heavily guarded inspections of the aircraft they created they nevertheless managed to circumvent both political dangers and technical constraints to develop the two major Soviet aircraft of World War II the fast twinengined Pe2 and the Tu2 a medium bomber Kerber also documents the postprison achievements of his mentor who after his release in 1941 went on to design the Soviet replica of the B29 Superfortress as well as many of the giant passenger jets of the cold war era

One of Stalins most heinous acts was the ruthless repression of millions of peasants in the early 1930s an act that established the very foundations of the gulag Solzhenitsyn barely touched upon this brutal episode in his magisterial Gulag Archipelago and subsequent writers passed over the subject in silence Now with the opening of Soviet archives an entirely new dimension of Stalins brutality has been uncovered The Unknown Gulag is the first book in English to explore this untold story Historian Lynne Viola reveals how in one of the most egregious episodes of Soviet repression Stalin drove two million peasants into internal exile to work as forced laborers The book shows how entire families were callously thrown out of their homes banished from their villages and sent to the icy hinterlands of the Soviet Union where in the course of a decade almost a half million would die as a result of disease starvation or exhaustion Drawing on pioneering research in the previously closed archives of the central and provincial Communist Party the Soviet state and the secret police Viola documents the history of this tragic episode She delves into what long remained an entirely hidden world within the gulag throwing new light on Stalins consolidation of power the rise of the secret police as a state within the state and the complex workings of the Soviet system But first and foremost she movingly captures the daytoday life of Stalins first victims telling the stories of the peasant families who experienced one of the twentieth centurys most horrific instances of mass repression A compelling story of human suffering and survival in Stalins Soviet Union here is a new chapter in the history of the gulag virtually hidden from sight until now
