PPLp KotlasLag: Russian Rus. Пересыльно‐Перевалочный Лагпункт (Eng. Transfer and Transshipment Camp) PPLp Rus. Котласский (Eng. Kotlaskiy) — transit camp (within the Gulag complex) — headquartered in Kotlas in Arkhangelsk Oblast. Established on 06.06.1931 as a subcamp of the ITL UstVymLag1 concentration camp, 05.03.1932‐31.07.1932 an independent subcamp of the Gulag, then until 14.05.1940 a subcamp of the ITL UkhtPechLag camp, again until 14.05.1940 an independent subcamp of the Gulag, until 27.10.1943 a subcamp managed by the Ministry of Railway Transport, until 29.07.1945 part of the PPLp KotlasLag agricultural concentration camp. From 29.06.1945 PPLp KotlasLag functioned as a subcamp of the ITL SevPechLag concentration camp, dealing exclusively with food production. Prisoners slaved at storage and transport of goods to and from concentration camps in the Komi Republic, construction materials for the North Pechora Railway Main Line, and after the camp on 27.10.1943 was transformed into an agricultural camp at food production, etc. At its peak — till the death on 05.03.1953 of Russian socialist leader, Joseph Stalin — c. 9,000 prisoners were held there: e.g. 8,073 (01.07.1940); 8,716 (01.01.1943); 8,629 (01.01.1944); 6,207 (01.01.1945), among whom were many Poles. As a transshipment sub‐camp it ceased to exist in 1945, but as an agricultural camp in 1956. (more on: old.memo.ruClick to attempt to display webpage

11.08.1937 Russian genocide: On 11.08.1937 Russian leader Stalin decided and NKVD head, Nicholas Jeżow, signed a «Polish operation» executive order no 00485. 139,835 Poles living in Russia were thus sentenced summarily to death. According to the records of the „Memorial” International Association for Historical, Educational, Charitable and Defense of Human Rights (Rus. Международное историко‐просветительское, правозащитное и благотворительное общество „Мемориал”), specialising with historical research and promoting knowledge about the victims of Russian repressions — 111,091 were murdered. 28,744 were sentenced to deportation to concentration camps in Gulag. Altogether however more than 100,000 Poles were deported, mainly to Kazakhstan, Siberia, Kharkov and Dniepropetrovsk. According to some historians, the number of victims should be multiplied by at least two, because not only the named persons were murdered, but entire Polish families (the mere suspicion of Polish nationality was sufficient). Taking into account the fact that the given number does not include the genocide in eastern Russia (Siberia), the number of victims may be as high as 500,000 Poles.

Great Purge 1937: „Great Terror” (also «Great Purge», also called „Yezhovshchyna” after the name of the then head of the NKVD) — a Russian state action of political terror, planned and directed against millions of innocent victims — national minorities, wealthier peasants (kulaks), people considered opponents political, army officers, the greatest intensity of which took place from 09.1936 to 08.1938. It reached its peak starting in the summer of 1937, when Art. 58‐14 of the Penal Code about „counter‐revolutionary sabotage” was passed , which became the basis for the „legalization” of murders, and on 02.07.1937 when the highest authorities of Russia, under the leadership of Joseph Stalin, issued a decree on the initiation of action against the kulaks. Next a number of executive orders of the NKVD followed, including No. 00439 of 25.07.1937, starting the liquidation of 25,000‐42,000 Germans living in Russia (mainly the so‐called Volga Germans); No. 00447 of 30.07.1937, beginning the liquidation of „anti‐Russian elements”, and No. 00485[2] of 11.08.1937, ordering the murder of 139,835 people of Polish nationality (the latter was the largest operation of this type — encompassed 12.5% of all those murdered during the «Great Purge», while Poles constituted 0.4% of the population). In the summer of 1937 Polish Catholic priests held in Solovetsky Islands, Anzer Island and ITL BelbaltLag were locked in prison cells (some in Sankt Petersburg). Next in a few kangaroo, murderous Russian trials (on 09.10.1937, 25.11.1937, among others) run by so‐called «NKVD Troika» all were sentenced to death. They were subsequently executed by a single shot to the back of the head. The murders took place either in Sankt Petersburg prison or directly in places of mass murder, e.g. Sandarmokh or Levashov Wilderness, where their bodies were dumped into the ditches. Other priests were arrested in the places they still ministered in and next murdered in local NKVD headquarters (e.g. in Minsk in Belarus), after equally genocidal trials run by aforementioned «NKVD Troika» kangaroo courts.

Forced exile: One of the standard Russian forms of repression. The prisoners were usually taken to a small village in the middle of nowhere — somewhere in Siberia, in far north or far east — dropped out of the train carriage or a cart, left out without means of subsistence or place to live.

ITL UkhtPechLag: Russian Rus. Исправи́тельно‐Трудово́й Ла́герь (Eng. Corrective Labor Camp) ITL Rus. Ухто‐Ижемский (Eng. Ukht‐Izhemskiy) — concentration and slave forced labor camp (within the Gulag complex) — headquartered in Chibyu (today: Ukhta) in Izhma river region, in Komi Republic. Founded on 06.06.1931. Prisoners slaved at the search for and extraction of crude oil and coal, radium, natural gas, asphaltite (high concentration of radium was detected in the camp, the highest in the world in water layers), in the construction of gas plants, access roads (e.g. Chibyu‐Krutaya), railway lines (e.g. Chibyu‐Ust‐Vym‐Kotlas, Vorkuta‐Ust‐Usa‐Kozhva), river barge construction, forest clearing and timber harvesting, etc. At its peak — till the death on 05.03.1953 of Russian socialist leader, Joseph Stalin — c. 5,000 prisoners were held there: e.g. 13,400 (12.1932); 23,840 (01.01.1934); 20,730 (01.01.1935); 21,750 (01.01.1936); 31,035 (01.01.1937); 54,792 (01.01.1938). Ceased to exist on 10.05.1938 when the camp was divided into four camp complexes: ITL UkhtIzhemLag (50,000 km2), ITL VorkutLag, ITL SevZhelDorLag and ITL UstVymLag.

Uchta: Local capital of a series of Russian concentration camps and forced labour camps — among others in diamond mines and at oil production — part of GULAG penal system, in the Komi republic (beyond Arctic Circle) — such as Uchpechłag, ITL VorkutLag, Inta, Uchwymlag, ITL UkhtIzhemLag, Sieżeldor forced labour camps.

Gulag: The acronym Gulag comes from the Rus. Главное управление исправительно‐трудовых лагерей и колоний (Eng. Main Board of Correctional Labor Camps). The network of Russian concentration camps for slave labor was formally established by the decision of the highest Russian authorities on 27.06.1929. Control was taken over by the OGPU, the predecessor of the genocidal NKVD (from 1934) and the MGB (from 1946). Individual gulags (camps) were often established in remote, sparsely populated areas, where industrial or transport facilities important for the Russian state were built. They were modeled on the first „great construction of communism”, the White Sea‐Baltic Canal (1931‐1932), and Naftali Frenkel, of Jewish origin, is considered the creator of the system of using forced slave labor within the Gulag. He went down in history as the author of the principle „We have to squeeze everything out of the prisoner in the first three months — then nothing is there for us”. He was to be the creator, according to Alexander Solzhenitsyn, of the so‐called „Boiler system”, i.e. the dependence of food rations on working out a certain percentage of the norm. The term ZEK — prisoner — i.e. Rus. заключенный‐каналоармец (Eng. canal soldier) — was coined in the ITL BelBaltLag managed by him, and was adopted to mean a prisoner in Russian slave labor camps. Up to 12 mln prisoners were held in Gulag camps at one time, i.e. c. 5% of Russia's population. In his book „The Gulag Archipelago”, Solzhenitsyn estimated that c. 60 mln people were killed in the Gulag until 1956. Formally dissolved on 20.01.1960.

1928‐1932 arrests (Kamyanets‐Podilskyi and Zhytomyr dioceses): Prior to 1930, the Russians arrested 8 Catholic priests from the Kamyanets and Zhytomyr dioceses; on 06.01.1930 — 3 Catholic priests; and on 10‐20.01.1930 — 14 priests (out of 46 serving there in mid‐1928). In the summer of 1931, the Russians arrested another three. At the same time, another 5 vicars general were arrested. They were all sentenced to imprisonment or exile: in the Politizolator prison in Yaroslav on the Volga river, in Saransk on the Volga, in the Gulag concentration camp on the Solovetsky Islands, in Arkhangelsk, in the republic of Komi (in the Ukhto‐Pechorsky labor camp), Murmansk. Both dioceses de facto ceased to exist. (more on: journals.pan.plClick to attempt to display webpage
