Solovki, the Island of Tears
SYNOPSIS A bunch of remote islands, surfacing on the White Sea, only 160 Km from the Arctic Circle: it is the Solovki Archipelago, whose name has sadly become famous as synonymous of “gulag”. As a matter of fact, this is where, in 1923, the first “special destination lager” was created by the new Soviet authorities. » cont. |
