Kolyma nach dem GULAG: Entstalinisierung im Magadaner Gebiet 1953–1960

Kolyma and Magadan are the epitomes of the Stalinist gulag. Upheavals after Stalin’s death led to the dissolution of the gulags, with major consequences, including power struggles between the CPSU and the MVD, raw materials extraction without forced labor, growth of infrastructure and bureaucracy, mobilization campaigns, and social policy interventions. The close look at the Northeast helps elucidate Soviet destalinization.
