4.9/5 (20482 ratings)

Description:If space in history books were alotted in proportion to human suffering, then Vorkuta would warrant one of the longest chapters.” – Norman DaviesDuring Stalin’s rule millions of innocent people were sent to the Gulag Archipelago prison camps. From 1932 unti 1957, the mining town Vorkuta on the Pechora river, in Russia’s Arctic, stood at the centre of Europe’s most extensive complex of prison camps.A group of young prisoners at Vorkuta did what the others would not dare; they took a stand against the Soviet authorities and managed to make a difference that impacted them all. Their actions gave start to the eradication of the Gulag system, and impacted greatly on the Soviet nation.Jukka Rislakki reveals the true story of Vorkuta Uprising with his extensive and thorough research on the subject. He succeeds in reconstructing the sequence of events inside the Vorkuta camp by cross-referencing the historical documentation of the events with the information given by the survivors of the 1953 Uprising. The eye-witness accounts also lend an intimate voice to this historically poignant story.“Brothers! No matter where we are from, of which nationality, today our fate shall be sealed. Soon we will know if we have any hope of a better future and if we can return home to our families.” (Speech by the Leader of the Uprising 22nd July 1953)He tekivät sen, mitä miljoonat muut eivät uskaltaneetAinutlaatuinen kuvaus vangeista, jotka uhmasivat neuvostovaltaa ja saivat aikaan muutoksen kärjessään outoja kohtaloita kokenut suomalaismies.Kesällä 1953, neljä kuukautta Stalinin kuoleman jälkeen, joukko nuoria leirivankeja nousee vangitsijoitaan vastaan Vorkutassa. Eturintamassa on suomalainen Eino Prykä.Verilöylyyn päättynyt kapina aloitti vankileirijärjestelmän suuren muutoksen ja vaikutti koko Neuvostoliiton kehitykseen.Jukka Rislakki luo silminnäkijähaastatteluihin, kirjeisiin, muistelmiin ja virallisiin asiakirjoihin perustuvan kokonaiskuvan Vorkutan tapahtumista ja miljoonien ihmisten hengen vaatineesta Stalinin diktatuurista. Hän kertoo myös, miten värikkään elämän elänyt Eino Prykä päätyi vankileirien saaristoon. Jukka Rislakki on toimittaja ja tietokirjailija, joka on julkaissut Suomessa, Latviassa ja Yhdysvalloissa useita laajaa huomiota saaneita Suomen lähihistoriaa, Baltian maita ja Venäjää käsitteleviä tietokirjoja.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
