Research Articles ideas

        What really interested me after researching about the Gulag was the psychological effects of the prison system on any particular inmates.  In the article about the escaped American prisoner, he states that the imprisonment itself made him appreciate life and freedom more, supporting the common adage that "one does not fully realize how valuable something is unless one loses it".  He also states that  although the conditions were extremely tough, it actually "helped" him to get order in his life and fully realizes his true intent or goal.  In another article, a Russian Gulag guard states that the prison did not bring any good to the prisoners themselves, only to the Soviet Industrial economy.  He states that the prison turn people into "wild beast" and lost all their sympathy and feelings for others.  Both viewpoints are arguable and valid; I, personally, want to investigate deeper into the issue and make a judgement myself.
