Overview

We invite to to visit Magadan Region located in Russian Far East . These territories were included into Russia in the 2nd half of the XVII c. but actual progress of this region started since 1920s only when its industrial development was begun on base of considerable gold, silver, tin, and tungsten deposits resources. The Dalstroy organization arranged in 1932 for coordination of mining and road building actively used forced labor of Gulag prisoners. Local Gulag camps (North-Eastern Corrective Labor Camps or Sevvostlag) was a productive subdivision in the Dalstroy structure. As practically uncontrolled owner of this region Dalstroy predatory exploited its natural resources. After Stalin's death (1953) forced labor of prisoners had been gradually replaced for the labor of hired workers. In 1957 Dalstroy was liquidated and its functions were given to local civil administration.
