Alternate Timelines

Scenarios about 'gulag'

The system of forced labor camps operated by the Soviet Union from the 1920s until the 1950s, though some remained in operation until the 1980s. Gulags housed political prisoners, criminals, and other "enemies of the state," with millions perishing from harsh conditions, malnutrition, and exhaustion. These camps represent a significant element of Soviet repression and feature prominently in alternate histories examining different trajectories of communist regimes or Cold War scenarios.
