Name: Allison
Me: Off to Russia to continue my Honor's Project research. Saint Petersburg is the first stop, to interview Konstantin Markovich Azadovsky who spent 1981-1983 as a political prisoner in the most notorious prison camp in Russia, Kolyma. Then, 4 days on Solovetsky Island: home of the first GULAG prison, and within 150km of the arctic circle. Finally, it's back to St. Petersburg, New York and Bowdoin.
More Stuff
- Great overview of the GULAG
- The Azadovsky Affair
- Official Solovki website (Russian)
- Weather in Solovki (Russian)
