It was first published in 1973 by the Parisian publisher <a href="YMCA_Press" title="YMCA Press">YMCA-Press</a>,<sup id="cite_ref-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> and it was translated into <a href="English_language" title="English language">English</a> and <a href="French_language" title="French language">French</a> the following year. It explores a vision of life in what is often known as the <a href="Gulag" title="Gulag">Gulag</a>, the Soviet <a href="Forced_labour_camp" class="mw-redirect" title="Forced labour camp">labour camp</a> system. Solzhenitsyn constructed his highly detailed narrative from various sources including reports, interviews, statements, diaries, legal documents, and his own experience as a Gulag prisoner.
</p><p>Following its publication, the book was initially circulated in the Soviet Union by <i><a href="Samizdat" title="Samizdat">samizdat</a></i> underground publication. It was not widely published there until 1989. It appeared that year in the literary journal <i><a href="Novy_Mir" title="Novy Mir">Novy Mir</a></i>; a third of the work was published in three issues.<sup id="cite_ref-Pearce2011_3-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Pearce2011-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Since the <a href="Dissolution_of_the_Soviet_Union" title="Dissolution of the Soviet Union">dissolution of the Soviet Union</a>, <i>The Gulag Archipelago</i> has been officially published in Russia.
</p>
<meta property="mw:PageProp/toc">
<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Structure">Structure</h2></div>
<p>As structured in most printed editions, the text comprises seven sections divided into three volumes: parts 1 and 2, parts 3 and 4, and parts 5 to 7. At one level, the <i>Gulag Archipelago</i> traces the history of the system of forced labor camps that operated in the Soviet Union from 1918 to 1956. Solzhenitsyn begins with <a href="Vladimir_Lenin" title="Vladimir Lenin">Vladimir Lenin</a>'s original decrees that were made shortly after the <a href="October_Revolution" title="October Revolution">October Revolution</a>; they established the legal and practical framework for a series of camps where <a href="Forced_labor_in_the_Soviet_Union" title="Forced labor in the Soviet Union">political prisoners and ordinary criminals would be sentenced to forced labor</a>.<sup class=" nourlexpansion citation" id="ref_b"><a href="#endnote_b">Note 2</a></sup>
</p><p>The book describes and discusses the waves of <a href="Purge" title="Purge">purges</a> and the assembling of <a href="Show_trial" title="Show trial">show trials</a> by Stalin through the 1930s in the context of the development of the greater Gulag system; Solzhenitsyn closely examines its purposive legal and bureaucratic development. The narrative ends in 1956 at the time of <a href="Nikita_Khrushchev" title="Nikita Khrushchev">Nikita Khrushchev</a>'s Secret Speech ("<a href="On_the_Personality_Cult_and_its_Consequences" class="mw-redirect" title="On the Personality Cult and its Consequences">On the Personality Cult and its Consequences</a>"). Khrushchev gave the speech at the <a href="20th_Congress_of_the_Communist_Party_of_the_Soviet_Union" title="20th Congress of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union">20th Congress of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union</a>, denouncing <a href="Joseph_Stalin" title="Joseph Stalin">Joseph Stalin</a>'s <a href="Personality_cult" class="mw-redirect" title="Personality cult">personality cult</a>, his autocratic power, and the widespread surveillance of all classes of people that pervaded the Stalin era.
</p><p>Parallel to this historical and legal narrative, Solzhenitsyn follows the typical course of a <i><a href="Zek_(inmate)" class="mw-redirect" title="Zek (inmate)">zek</a></i> through the Gulag. This was a slang term for an <a href="Inmate" class="mw-redirect" title="Inmate">inmate</a>, derived from the widely used abbreviation <i>z</i>/<i>k</i> for <i>zakliuchenny</i> ("prisoner"). He started with arrest, <a href="Show_trial" title="Show trial">show trial</a>, and initial internment, continuing with the transport to the Gulag. In that setting, he explored the treatment of prisoners and their general living conditions, slave labor gangs and the technical prison camp system, camp rebellions and strikes, such as the <a href="Kengir_uprising" title="Kengir uprising">Kengir uprising</a>; the practice of continued internal exile following the completion of the original prison sentence, and the ultimate but not guaranteed release of the prisoner, if one survived. Solzhenitsyn's examination details the trivial and commonplace events of an average prisoner's life, as well as specific and noteworthy events during the history of the Gulag system, including revolts and uprisings.
</p>
<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Thesis">Thesis</h2></div>
<p>At Chapter 4, Solzhenitsyn writes: "<a href="Macbeth" title="Macbeth">Macbeth’s</a> self-justifications were feeble – and his conscience devoured him. Yes, even Iago was a little lamb, too. The imagination and spiritual strength of Shakespeare's evildoers stopped short at a dozen corpses. Because they had no <i>ideology</i>. Ideology – that is what gives evildoing its long-sought justification and gives the evildoer the necessary steadfastness and determination. That is the social theory which helps to make his acts seem good instead of bad in his own and others' eyes.... That was how the agents of the <a href="Inquisition" title="Inquisition">Inquisition</a> fortified their wills: by invoking <a href="Christianity" title="Christianity">Christianity</a>; the conquerors of foreign lands, by extolling the grandeur of their Motherland; the colonizers, by <a href="Civilization" title="Civilization">civilization</a>; the <a href="Nazis" class="mw-redirect" title="Nazis">Nazis</a>, by <a href="Race_(human_categorization)" title="Race (human categorization)">race</a>; and the <a href="Jacobin" class="mw-redirect" title="Jacobin">Jacobins</a> (early and late), by equality, brotherhood, and the happiness of future generations... Without evildoers there would have been no Archipelago."<sup id="cite_ref-4" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
</p><p>Solzhenitsyn painstakingly laid the theoretical, legal, and practical origins of the Gulag system at Lenin's feet, not Stalin's. According to Solzhenitsyn's testimony, Stalin amplified a <a href="Concentration_camp" title="Concentration camp">concentration camp</a> system that was already in place and this was significant because he said many Western intellectuals considered the Soviet prison camp system to be a Stalinist aberration.<sup id="cite_ref-5" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
</p><p>Solzhenitsyn claims that although many practices had been stopped, the basic structure of the system had survived and it could be revived and expanded by future leaders. While Khrushchev, the Communist Party, and the Soviet Union's supporters in the West viewed the Gulag as a deviation of Stalin, Solzhenitsyn and others among the opposition tended to view it as a systemic fault of Soviet political culture, and an inevitable outcome of the <a href="Bolshevik" class="mw-redirect" title="Bolshevik">Bolshevik</a> political project.<sup id="cite_ref-6" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-6"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
</p>
<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Publication">Publication</h2></div>
<p>After the KGB had confiscated Solzhenitsyn's materials in Moscow, during 1965–1967, he worked to develop his preparatory drafts of <i>The Gulag Archipelago</i> into finished typescript. He accomplished some of this while in hiding at his friends' homes in the Moscow region and elsewhere.
</p><p>While held at the KGB's <a href="Lubyanka_(KGB)" class="mw-redirect" title="Lubyanka (KGB)">Lubyanka Prison</a> in 1945, Solzhenitsyn had befriended <a href="Arnold_Susi" title="Arnold Susi">Arnold Susi</a>, a lawyer and former Estonian Minister of Education, who had been taken captive after the Soviet Union occupied Estonia in 1944. Solzhenitsyn entrusted Susi with the original typed and proofread manuscript of the finished work, after copies had been made of it both on paper and on microfilm.<sup id="cite_ref-7" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-7"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>7<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Susi got the manuscript to his daughter, Heli Susi, who kept the "master copy" hidden from the KGB in Estonia until the dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1991.<sup id="cite_ref-8" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-8"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>8<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-9" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-9"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>9<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
</p><p>In 1973, the <a href="KGB" title="KGB">KGB</a> seized one of only three existing copies of the text still on Soviet soil. This was achieved by interrogating Elizaveta Voronyanskaya, one of Solzhenitsyn's trusted typists<sup id="cite_ref-10" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-10"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>10<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> who knew where the typed copy was hidden. Within days of her release by the KGB she was found hanged in the stairwell of her apartment on the 3rd of August 1973. She had apparently either hanged herself or been murdered.<sup id="cite_ref-11" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-11"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>11<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Solzhenitsyn had wanted the manuscript to be first published in Russia, but knew this was impossible under conditions then extant. After Solzhenitsyn learned of Voronyanskaya's death he decided to allow its publication in Paris. The first edition of the work was published in Russian by the Parisian publishing house <a href="YMCA_Press" title="YMCA Press">YMCA-Press</a> (founded by Russian immigrants) a few days after Christmas 1973.<sup id="cite_ref-12" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-12"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>12<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> They had received a go-ahead from Solzhenitsyn but had decided to release the work about ten days earlier than he had expected. News of the nature of the work immediately caused a stir, and translations into many other languages followed within the next few months, sometimes produced in a race against time. American <a href="Thomas_P._Whitney" title="Thomas P. Whitney">Thomas P. Whitney</a> produced the English version. The English and French translations of Volume I appeared in the spring and summer of 1974.<sup id="cite_ref-13" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-13"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>13<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
</p><p>The work had a profound effect internationally. Not only did it provoke energetic debate in the West; a mere six weeks after the work had left Parisian presses Solzhenitsyn himself was forced into exile. Because possession of the manuscript incurred the risk of a long prison sentence for "anti-Soviet activities", Solzhenitsyn never worked on the manuscript in complete form. Since he was under constant KGB surveillance, Solzhenitsyn worked on only parts of the manuscript at any one time, so as not to put the full book into jeopardy if he happened to be arrested.
</p><p>For this reason, he secreted the various parts of the work throughout Moscow and the surrounding suburbs, in the care of trusted friends. Sometimes when he was purportedly visiting them on social calls he actually worked on the manuscript in their homes. During much of this time, Solzhenitsyn lived at the dacha of the world-famous cellist <a href="Mstislav_Rostropovich" title="Mstislav Rostropovich">Mstislav Rostropovich</a>, and due to the reputation and standing of the musician, despite the elevated scrutiny of the Soviet authorities, Solzhenitsyn was reasonably safe from KGB searches there.
</p><p>With the possible exception of <i><a href="One_Day_in_the_Life_of_Ivan_Denisovich" title="One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich">One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich</a></i>, it is his best-known and most popular work, at least in the West. Finished in 1968, <i>The Gulag Archipelago</i> was microfilmed and smuggled out to Solzhenitsyn's main legal representative, Fritz Heeb of Zürich, to await publication; a later paper copy, also smuggled out, was signed by <a href="Heinrich_B%C3%B6ll" title="Heinrich Böll">Heinrich Böll</a> at the foot of each page to prove against possible accusations of a falsified work.

Retrieved <span class="nowrap">4 September</span> 2021</span> – via Soviet Studies. <q>For decades, many historians counted Stalin' s victims in 'tens of millions', which was a figure supported by Solzhenitsyn. Since the collapse of the USSR, the lower estimates of the scale of the camps have been vindicated. The arguments about excess mortality are far more complex than normally believed. R. Conquest, <i>The Great Terror: A Re-assessment</i> (London, 1992) does not really get to grips with the new data and continues to present an exaggerated picture of the repression. The view of the 'revisionists' has been largely substantiated (J. Arch Getty &amp; R. T. Manning (eds), <i>Stalinist Terror: New Perspectives</i> (Cambridge, 1993)). The popular press, even <i>TLS</i> and <i>The Independent</i>, have contained erroneous journalistic articles that should not be cited in respectable academic articles.</q></cite></span>
