More than half a century after the end of Stalinist terror, the geography of the Gulag has been barely sketched and the number of its victims remains unknown. Has the Gulag been forgotten? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWriter Masha Gessen and photographer Misha Friedman set out across Russia in search of the memory of the Gulag. They journey from Moscow to Sandarmokh, a forested site of mass executions during Stalin's Great Terror; to the only Gulag camp turned into a museum, outside of the city of Perm in the Urals; and to Kolyma, where prisoners worked in deadly mines in the remote reaches of the Far East. They find that in Vladimir Putin's Russia, where Stalin is remembered as a great leader, Soviet terror has not been forgotten: it was never remembered in the first place. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\"A short, haunting and beautifully written book.\" --\u003ci\u003eWall Street Journal\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Masha Gessen\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0997722967\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780997722963\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Columbia Global Reports\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/20\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 156\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.80lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.80h x 10.10w x 0.70d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/15\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/15\/2018","brand":"Masha Gessen","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44043069489407,"sku":"9780997722963","price":27.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f4614490-13e4-4421-98f3-471279249fb9.jpg?v=1684965076","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/never-remember-masha-gessen-9780997722963","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
