Gulag Letters is Emily Johnson's translated and edited collection of letters Arsenii Formakov sent home to his family in Riga during two terms in Soviet labor camps: Kraslag from 1940 to 1947, then Kamyshlag and Ozerlag from 1949 to 1955. Formakov was a Latvian Russian poet, novelist and newspaper editor, and the letters give a firsthand account of how the Soviet penal system worked and what daily life was like for Latvian prisoners. It suits readers of Gulag history and memoir, and students of Soviet and Latvian literature, who want a primary source rather than a later narrative history. Unlike survivor memoirs written after release, these letters were composed inside the camps under censorship, so they carry both what Formakov could say and what he had to leave out.
