This ethnographic study takes a holistic, comprehensive approach to understanding memories of the Gulag, and particularly the language of commemoration that surrounds it in present-day Russian society. It focuses on four regions of particular historical significance--the Solovetsky Islands, the Komi Republic, the Perm region, and Kolyma--to carefully explore how memories become a social phenomenon, how objects become heritage, and how the human need to create sites of memory has preserved the Gulag in specific ways today.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eZuzanna Bogumil\u003c\/strong\u003e, PhD, works at the Institute of Archaeology and Ethnology at the Polish Academy of Sciences.
