This is a rare Cold War artifact: a U.S. Information Service persuasive map published in Vienna showing what Russian writer and historian Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn would later call The Gulag Archipelago. This folding, two-color map shows the Soviet Union from the Baltic Sea to the Bering Strait, highlighting in red 'the location and extent of the Soviet Russian forced labor camps...' The German text on the inside cover explains, 'Taken together, these areas would make up a space the size of Western Europe.' Though the first 'corrective labor camps' were established as early as 1918, the full extent of the Gulag's massive prison and forced labor system - as displayed here on the map - was not realized until Stalin's rise to power. The map marks with stars the locations of concentration camps run by the MWD (Ministry of the Interior.) Broader forced labor regions are shaded a light red, with their headquarters locations marked with points. Several such 'forced labor areas' are shown to be linked together by railways, reflecting a high degree of organization and mechanization. (more details)
