The Dead Road – research
During three expeditions (2009, 2011, 2013) we have mapped a total of 15 abandoned camps along the so-called Dead Road Railway – Gulag Construction...
11th kilometre labour camp
A regular labour camp intended for use in the construction and maintenance of the railway line and a bridge across the nearby Barabanicha rivulet.
Several buildings have been preserved in relatively good condition on the grounds of the camp (state as of 2009): prison barracks, dining hall, administrative building, latrines. Alongside its fenced area a bakery, work building and a place with a horizontal bar (likely an exercise area for guards) have been preserved. We made minor finds in the camp – for instance, compote jars and remnants of a newspaper dated May 1952.
