Intalag

The Inta Corrective Labor Camp or Intalag (Russian: Инти́нский исправи́тельно-трудово́й ла́герь, Инталаг, romanized: Intínskiy ispravítel'no-trudovóy láger', also abbreviated Intinlag, Intlag, and Intastroy) was a forced labor camp of the Gulag, which existed between 1941 and 1948 near the town of Inta in the Komi Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic.

Prisoners at the camp were mainly engaged in the mining of local coal deposits.

The first camp commander was Captain Mikhail Savich Zdunis, who led it until 17 July 1942,[1] and it was subordinated to the General Directorate of Railway Construction Camps (GULZHDS).

The Shchugorugol camp was split off from Intalag on 15 September 1945, but reabsorbed at the end of 1946.

At the beginning of 1947, the number of inmates in the camp reached 20,585, its highest size.
