Soviet Union. Kengir Gulag uprising in Kazakhstan. This is the gulag where Alexander Solzhenitsyn was held. After the uprising, on June 25th, T-34 tanks and strafing planes arrived, followed by special forces. The dead and wounded numbered approximately six hundred. In the fall of 1955, the survivors were put on trial, behind closed doors. As Robert Burns said: an uprising cannot end in triumph; if it wins, it is given another name.
