[edit] Summary
| Description |
At the head of the Debin River lies the most inaccessible region of the Taiga. A punitive camp was located there for “counterrevolutionary” prisoners—those alleged to know state secrets. It is also symbolic of a trend in the history of the Gulag. Paranoia about secrets caused numerous incarcerations and in some cases made prisoners out of former guards. The bodies of two prisoners shot trying to escape were allowed to lie in the snow as a warning to the newly entering prisoners about the futility of attempting escape. The portrait of Stalin, which Getman painted while a prisoner at the camp, was there to exhort prisoners that “through honest labor lies the road to release.” At camps like the Upper Debin, however, very few prisoners ever left alive. Getman attributes his release from the Upper Debin to his talent and the favor of the wife of the camp director. |
