Abstract

This paper examines the phenomenon of post-Gulag towns in Russia. The focus is put on the process of evolving from the traumatic repression-related past towards the new contemporary identities. Thus, the aim of this thesis is to investigate the chronology of Russian Gulag towns in dealing with traumatic heritage, starting from the time of Gulag-camps initiation and ending with the present day situation. As the focus of this research, a single case study of Vorkuta could be applied to the general context of over 30,000 Gulag camps that took place in Russia.
