- Magadan in the Far East Siberia, in Russia, was the administrative center of Stalin’s Kolyma, the gulags, between 1932 and 1954. “Someone said is the devil’s playground,” recalled Father Michael Shields who was sent there as a missionary in 1989. “I had a list, and according to it in 1942, October 17, there were a hundred and sixty-five thousand prisoners. Many died of starvation, exposure to the cold temperatures, and or were executed. There are many unmarked graves; some people call Magadan a large graveyard.” Since his arrival, Fr. Michael has been working with the survivors of the gulags and their families. His pastoral work includes a range of topics from trauma healing to awareness of the sacredness of life. ACN supports his mission.

very cruel and very sad
Who are these people they interviewed that went to the gulags? Why were they there? Did they kill someone or steal something? It was mostly criminals so what did they do? It's very manipulative to not say why they found themselves on the trains to the gulags.
Most of the people sent to the Gulags were either minorities, political opponents, criminals, and people whose boss thought were too smart to live.
You can continue your merry little world on your head but you can never deny that sometimes even children were sent there or worse:
Nazino Island.
Just remember, Tuchachevsky never smiled again.
These women would have been little children at the time. Do you really think they were dangerous criminals? Your statement is ignorant and foolish.
They were most likely Kulaks from Ukraine or southern Russia, sent with their families to serve forced labor in the far east. Mostly innocent people who were the main victims of cruelty and violence. The Soviet gulag system actually privileged criminals and gave them license to mistreat political prisoners
Most of theses people were political prisoners. My grandparents were sent there because of their nationality - Latvian and Polish. Soviets were coming to villages and sent all men who were capable to work to these camps. When we applied to KGB to get my grandfather's case to know the reason why they sent him there we got an official reply that there was no investigation against him. They didn't even bother to fake a case!
@@KrisvirsBecause they were Latvian, so they thought they worked together with us Germans? I'm curious. Greetings!
You are obviously ignorant to the history because the majority of these prisoners were innocent.
You are very biased as you didn't say Muslims 1:20. You know very well what im saying.
Who cares about them? They're arseholes everywhere! 🙄
Let's put this way once you came to Kolyma, it really didn't matter what your religion was, the cold didn't discriminate, neither did the hunger or diseases, everyone froze, starved and suffered equally.
Muslims were not persecuted in the USSR under Stalin, at least not as the christian orthodox clergy. The ulema supported the revolution and even when sharia starts to be repressed, most of the ulema continued support the soviets.
