Gulag Voices is a collection of survivor memoirs from the Soviet forced-labor camps, edited and annotated by Anne Applebaum, the Pulitzer Prize-winning historian of the Gulag. It gathers accounts from very different prisoners, including the scholar Dmitri Likhachev, the laborer's son Anatoly Marchenko and the American Alexander Dolgun, many translated into English for the first time. Where Applebaum's own history relies on archives and documents, this book supplies the prisoners' side: daily life, moral compromise, and relations with guards and with the criminals held alongside them. It suits readers who want primary testimony rather than a narrative history, and it works as a companion to her earlier work.

Readers treat it as a strong companion to Applebaum's full history of the Gulag, valuing the range of voices and the editorial notes. Some find the excerpts too short and want to read the complete memoirs afterward.
Gulag Voices is an anthology of writings by survivors of the Gulag, the Soviet concentration camps. It is edited and annotated by Anne Applebaum, a Pulitzer Prize-winning author. The opening of the Soviet archives made it possible to write the history of the camp system, and this collection adds the personal accounts of those who lived through it.
The writers come from many backgrounds, reflecting the diversity of the Gulag itself. They include Dmitri Likhachev, a renowned literary scholar, Anatoly Marchenko, the son of illiterate laborers, and Alexander Dolgun, an American citizen. Many of the pieces appear in English for the first time, and each was chosen for both literary and historical value.
Together the accounts show the moral universe of the camps. They also cover the relationships prisoners had with one another, with their guards, and with the professional criminals who lived beside them. The annotations are written for a generation that no longer remembers the Soviet Union.
