About Magadan Oblast

Magadan Oblast is a region rich in minerals and human suffering. The areas now known as Magadan Oblast andChukotkawere home to the Kolyma Gulag, a network of work-camps the size of France where approximately 500,000-1,000,000 men, women, and children died as a result of overwork, malnutrition, the cold, and human brutality. Anyone interested in the Kolyma gulags, or just more generally in human nature and great literature, should read Varlam Shalamov'sKolyma Tales.
