Angarlag

Angarlag, also Angarstroy, Angarsky ITL (Russian: Ангарлаг, Ангарстрой, Ангарский ИТЛ) was a Gulag labor camp during 1947-1960 headquartered in Bratsk, Irkutsk Oblast, RSFSR.

Initially, it was under the control of the Western Directorate of Baikal-Amur Mainline Construction and Camps.

In 1948 it was resubordinated to the Chief Directorate of Railroad Construction Camps, later directly to GULAG.

[1][2][3] Its major projects were the construction of segments of Baikal-Amur Mainline and a bridge across Angara.

Later some other divisions and enterprises were transferred to Angarlag.
