Abstract
"After the Gulag: A History of Memory in Russia's Far North" is a book that explores the construction of memory surrounding the Stalinist Gulag in the Komi Republic. The author, Jeffrey S. Hardy, focuses on how former inmates of the Gulag formed strong attachments to the region, even after leaving. The book examines various forms of memory, including autobiographical letters, memoirs, artwork, and the concept of "spiritual resistance." It also discusses the challenges faced by Gulag survivors in reconciling their past with their post-release lives and the interpretation of Gulag history by journalists, activists, and state actors. Overall, the book provides a comprehensive understanding of Gulag memory and its impact on Russia today. [Extracted from the article]
