Vorkuta

Vorkuta, Russia

Vorkuta is situated in a

permafrost zone near the

Arctic Circle, and it is the

easternmost town in Europe.

After the beginning of Stalin’s

mass repressions in Vorkuta

was formed one of the most

cruel Gulag camp. Prisoner’s

forced labour was used for

the coal mining. More than

200 thousand prisoners died

in Vorkuta. After the Fall of

the USSR profitability of coal

mines was doubted. The collapse

of the Soviet economy

set in motion the decline of

Vorkuta. Many people left

their houses and moved from

Vorkuta. Vorkuta became

one of the most rapidly dying

cities in Russia.
