Author Alan Barenberg's eye-opening study reveals Vorkuta as an active urban centre with a substantial nonprisoner population where the borders separating camp and city were contested and permeable, enabling prisoners to establish social connections that would eventually aid them in their transitions to civilian life. With this book, Barenberg makes an important historical contribution to our understanding of forced labour in the Soviet Union and its enduring legacy. 651 0 $a Vorkuta (Komi, Russia) $x History. 610 20 $a Vorkuta (Komi, Russia : Concentration camp) $x History. 830 0 $a Yale-Hoover series on Stalin, Stalinism, and the Cold War. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191213022940.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=B2E9043A332F11E49E51C4E1DAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
