Reviews
-
Criminal Subculture in the Gulag decolonizes every reader's perception of what they think they know about incarceration. Vincent's thoughtful book is a humbling, often harrowing, but necessary read that I recommend to anyone interested in cultures beyond their own.

The horrific criminal subculture which festered inside Stalin's Gulags has become a staple of film and novel thanks to its ruthless codes and savage tattoos, but has never been examined in such forensic detail as within this book. By digging into contemporary accounts and documents, Mark Vincent shines a light into the deepest darks of labour camp life.

The Gulag was a horror not just for its incarceration of innocents. Mark Vincent creatively uses available but previously untapped sources to draw a captivating portrait of the experiences and unique culture that developed amid the brutal conditions behind barbed wire among the least understood victims of the Gulag-its criminals.
