Photographs from Tomasz Kizny's album Gulag. The book includes photos from between the 1920s and the 1950s showing the work and daily life of labour camp prisoners, as well as contemporary images of camps and portraits of former prisoners. It is composed of seven chapters. As the author pointed out, six are devoted to places, which are significant for the history and development of forced labour camps in the Soviet Union, and the seventh one introduces the phenomenon of camp theatres.
