Gulag

The Gulag was a system of labor camps in the Soviet Union. In Russian language, the word Gulag referrs only to the division of the Soviet secret police that was in charge of running the forced labor camps from the 1930s to the early 1950s during Joseph Stalin's rule, but in English literature the term is popularly used for the system of forced labor throughout the Soviet era. The Russian term that matches the English usage is Система Гулага, Sistema Gylaga, '"Gulag system"'. The abbreviation GULAG (ГУЛАГ) stands for "Glávnoye upravléniye ispravítel'no-trudovýkh lageréy", but the full official name of the agency changed several times.
