  Offers a fundamental reinterpretation of the role of the Gulag - the Soviet Union's vast system of forced-labor camps, internal exile, and prisons - in Soviet society. This book argues that the Gulag must be understood primarily as a penal institution where prisoners were given one final chance to reintegrate into Soviet society.
