Gulag is a photojournalism book by a photographer sent to Siberia in 1991 by Geo Magazine to document the remains of the Soviet forced-labor camp system. It captures the brief window of glasnost and perestroika when the camps could finally be visited and survivors were willing to speak. It suits readers of documentary photography and Soviet history rather than anyone wanting a narrative history or academic study. Compared with classic camp histories, it is a first-hand visual record made at the moment the system's archives and sites opened up.

Gulag documents a 1991 trip to the Siberian Gulag, made on commission for Geo Magazine in the last days of the Soviet Union.
The journey was possible because of the reforms of Mikhail Gorbachev, the last Leader of the Soviet Union. His perestroika (political and economic restructuring) and glasnost (transparency and openness) revealed some of the horrors and inefficiencies of the Soviet past.
The speed and chaos of those changes made a short window in which people were willing to answer questions. That would have been out of the question a few years earlier, and far more difficult a year later, after Gorbachev had resigned and the Soviet Union had fallen.
