The Gulag—a vast array of Soviet concentration camps that held millions of political and criminal prisoners—was a system of repression and punishment that terrorized the entire society, embodying the worst tendencies of Soviet communism. In this magisterial and acclaimed history, Anne Applebaum offers the first fully documented portrait of the Gulag, from its origins in the Russian Revolution, through its expansion under Stalin, to its collapse in the era of glasnost. Applebaum intimately re-creates what life was like in the camps and links them to the larger history of the Soviet Union. Immediately recognized as a landmark and long-overdue work of scholarship, Gulag is an essential book for anyone who wishes to understand the history of the twentieth century.

在我看来，“古拉格”代表着一种违背天理、国法、人情的畸形社会系统。这本书讲述前苏联古拉格，以其创建到灭亡为主线，搜集大量资料以及案例，通过当事人的故事以及作者的描述，完整地刻画出“古拉格”这个体系以及社会现象的面貌。所有有良知的人，在阅读完这部作品之后，都...  

古拉格的发展可以大致分为以下阶段：列宁时代的古拉格有很强乌托邦幻想色彩并追求经济效益(虽然基本赔本)，意图用一种劳动改造取代监狱，很讽刺的是富农可以利用资产获得非常优渥的住宿条件，而政治犯也被特别对待，劳动重负结果压倒了“犯罪”贫农(主要是偷窃，偷懒)身上。 斯...  

意大利著名作家，同时也是奥斯维辛集中营的幸存者普利莫·莱维，在他自杀前的最后一部著作中反复提到一个集体梦魇似的场景。他和那些囚犯生活在奥斯维辛时总是梦到，他们回到了家，向所爱的人讲述自己的苦难，但是没人相信发生在他们身上的故事。就在那一刻，他才深刻意识到集...  

以前从来没有了解过俄罗斯的历史，突然间翻到了《古拉格》，觉得好神奇的名字，就回来买了电子书来看。 结果迅速被这段历史情节迷住了，这段历史堪称德国的集中营。 古拉格实质就是一种国家奴隶制。里面描写的场景都是很血腥的画面，生命仿佛失去了意义，变成了一种...  

用户评价

穿越古拉格这一页需要太多勇气，大量的文献回忆录和访谈展现出的罕见严谨足以媲美学术著作。古拉格之于苏联一如文革之于我们，必须要不断被提起被研究被质问，只有这样，前人方能忏悔，今人才能反思，后人不致重复。借用书中一句话，杀人者还活着。杀人者永远活着。

纳粹之恶，举世皆知，而与之不相伯仲的共产主义之恶，或说斯大林之恶，无论俄国人自己，还是西方，都还不情愿面对。作者力图表现列宁执政到苏东巨变这近七十年时间里，这个被缩称为“古拉格”的奴工体系，如何管理、折磨包括作奸犯科的罪犯，和以各种名义未经审判或刑讯逼供投入这个体系的所谓“政治犯”。政治犯们所受的折磨和最终无名地死亡，其惨已经无法用言语形容。作者耙梳史料、回忆录、公开文件，最终以史家般谨严的文字一桩桩描述出来，读来如入地狱。而读完以后，我简直如同脱胎换骨，看世界的眼光都不同了。

沉重的历史，泯灭的人性
