On October 13, 1923, the State Security Commissioner Gleb Bokiy decided to establish the first concentration camp after the fall of the Russian state in 1917."Socially alien elements" is what it was intended for.The country had a network of concentration camps.From 1929 to 1953, more than 18 million people were sent to the Gulag.[4]

The so-called war prisoners were generally imprisoned in special POW camps, which existed independently from the network of corrective labor camps.Many POWs ended up in the regular camp system.The majority of POW camps after the war were located in the European part of the Soviet Union, where the prisoners worked on restoring the country's infrastructure, like roads, railways, plants, etc.Polish citizens and members of other nationalities who were imprisoned at the Soviet forced labour camps during World War II worked for the soviet army, digging trenches, working in lumber and cement works, airport runway construction, and unloading of transport goods.[5]
