Special camps (osoblagy)
These special camps were set up by a resolution of the Council of ministers of the USSR from 21. February 1948. It was a subsoustavu an labour camps (the NPT, the gulag) with an even stricter regime. Intended were for prisoners convicted under section 58 of the criminal code, i.e. for high treason, espionage, diversion, terrorism and other political crimes, but also for the so-called trotskyists, the right-wingers, mensheviks, esery, anarchists, nationalists, white emigrants and other anti-soviet elements or for persons with protisovětskými connections. Special camps usually were located on the territory of the standard of the NPT, but they were from the rest of the camp a whole isolated, had their own command and their own guarding, which provided members of the Troops of the Ministry of state security. In addition to these twelve camps, there were also three special prisons in Vladimir, Alexandrovsku and Verchněuralsku. Camps should be subject to only for the Main administration of camps of the Ministry of internal affairs of the USSR (the GULAG MV of the USSR), but some of them were subordinate to even the sectoral táborovým administrations of the ministry.
In these camps was also imprisoned and forced to work, abused by many so-called agents of foreign secret services, i.e. foreign nationals, including citizens of Czechoslovakia. For all name a few such as the army general Sergei Vojcechovského, who died 4. April 1951 in Ozerlagu (special camp no 7). At the time of the Korean war here should be additional Americans from the ranks of prisoners of war.
In march 1949, in these camps there were 106 573 prisoners, the maximum level was reached in 1952, when in them was held to 257 000 people. In 1953, the number dropped to 234 000 imprisoned people. Since 1954, were the camps phased out. The peculiarity was that when it was in march 1953, the Main administration of camps has been transferred to the Ministry of justice, the special camps that touched and stayed that way until its end under the Ministry of the interior.
The prisoners of these camps were as a rule assigned to the hardest work on the specially designated workplaces. Prisoners had higher levels of labor utilization and tougher conditions for exemption from work in case of illness. I guess the only advantage was that here were placed just so-called political prisoners, which meant that you could not be oppressed by non-political prisoners, which was a common phenomenon in the rank and file of the NPT.
