Stephen F. Cohen's 2011 history follows Gulag survivors after Stalin's death, tracing how they returned to Soviet society and how the state handled their rehabilitation. Cohen, a longtime Soviet and Russian affairs scholar, draws on survivor testimony and archival material to argue that the post-Stalin amnesty was partial and slow. It suits readers of Soviet history who want the aftermath of the camps rather than the camp memoir itself. Compared with classic Gulag memoirs, it is analytical and top-down as much as personal, and it reflects Cohen's revisionist view of late Soviet reform.

Reviewers treat it as a useful, accessible account of a neglected topic, and praise Cohen's use of survivor voices. Historians who disagree with his broader view of the Soviet system question how he frames the rehabilitation and Khrushchev-era reform.
