Belomor: Criminality and Creativity in Stalin's Gulag - Myths and Taboos in Russian Culture
Julie S. Draskoczy
Containing analyses of everything from prisoner poetry to album covers, this book moves beyond the simplistic good/evil paradigm that often accompanies Gulag scholarship. While acknowledging the normative power of Stalinism—an ethos so hegemonic it wanted to harness the very mechanisms of inspiration—the volume also recognises the various loopholes offered by artistic expression.
