Summary
This ethnographic study reveals how the Gulag persists as a contested site of memory in post-socialist Russia, despite its official closure. It explores the language of commemoration and the social phenomenon of memory creation, focusing on four historically significant regions: the Solovetsky Islands, Komi Republic, Perm region, and Kolyma. The research demonstrates how objects become heritage and how human needs for remembrance shape the preservation of the Gulag's legacy today.
