Trade Review
This concise history of the Gulag is the latest in Bloomsbury’s excellent Russian Shorts series … Hardy's book is unique in that it examines the contested memory of the Gulag in the post-Soviet period, in particular the role played by politicians, NGOs and survivors, and he questions how state-sponsored monuments and museums commemorating Gulag victims can coexist alongside political repression in Russia today. * Pushkin House Bookshop Newsletter *
