Synopsis
This documentary explores the origins of a monastery complex on the White Sea--based Solovetsky Islands, which Vladimir Lenin converted into a labor camp that would ultimately become the model for the gulag system. Director Marina Goldovskaya interviews camp survivors, many of whom were poets, inventors, writers and historians who underwent "re-education." The movie also features clips of an unreleased film from 1928, in which author Maxim Gorky toured the facilities for review purposes.
