Revolts Kill and Wound Thousands in Soviet Camps
The Association of Former Prisoners of War in Austria says about 1,300 Soviet slave labourers were killed and 3,000 wounded in two prison uprisings in Siberia at year end. One revolt at Norilsk and another at Kengir, with tanks used to crush resistance, led to mass deaths and long prison terms for survivors.
