Inside Russia’s Prisons: A Fate Worse Than Death adminsnskOctober 26, 2025 12:32 pm 0 Behind Russia’s Most Fearsome Prisons: A New Gulag The majority of Americans believe that the United States has the most brutal prisons in the world — packed, violent, and dehumanizing. But the reality is, American prisons are no closer to the horror that happens inside the walls of Russia’s penal colonies. Within Russia’s prison system, brutality is not only the norm — it’s standard operating procedure. Violence, bribery, and terror rule the day-to-day experience. Survival is never assured. To see why Russia’s prisons rank as some of the world’s most brutal, we must follow their origins — all the way back to Stalin’s Gulags. From Gulag to Penal Colony Between 1929 and 1953, during Joseph Stalin’s rule, some 18 million individuals went through the Soviet Union’s system of forced labor camps — the Gulags. Prisoners toiled in subzero Siberian wasteland, starving, working too many hours, and ill. Up to 1.7 million perished. When Stalin died, the Gulag regime dissipated, but its essence never went away. Russia now has a total of about 870 prisons and labor colonies that hold close to half a million prisoners. Over 700 are “correctional labor colonies,” where the prisoners continue to toil long hours for near-nothing. Seven are “special regime” colonies for life terms — facilities that are intended to erase people. Even today, Russia’s prisons are the Gulag’s direct inheritors — the same style, the same mentality, and the same message: submission through suffering. Life Inside the Colonies Prisoners are typically shipped by train — packed into small, dark cells, barred and sealed off from the world. Families are often lost contact with, for prisoners are shipped thousands of miles out into distant backwaters. There are four main types of colonies: open, general, strict, and special. The “open” ones allow limited freedom if inmates work, but escape is impossible — you’re surrounded by nothing but forests, swamps, and snow. In 2012, punk band members Pussy Riot were jailed for “hooliganism.” They later called their experience “harsh,” but in fact, they were spared the worst. In comparison to what others go through, their experience was near-leniency. Prisoners are organized into “detachments” of about 100 individuals, under a senior prisoner. Women wear uniforms and headscarves continuously. They rise early, labor all day — sewing up military uniforms, scrubbing, or producing souvenirs — for a few dollars a month. Well-behaved ones can reduce their sentences. Recalcitrants are broken. But behind these “tamer” colonies are the infernal ones.
