Of the hundreds of thousands of Ukrainian women were sentenced to
the Gulag in the 1940s and 1950s, only half survived. In
Survival as Victory , Oksana Kis has produced the first
anthropological study of daily life in the Soviet forced labor
camps as experienced by Ukrainian women prisoners. Based on the
written memoirs, autobiographies, and oral histories of over 150
survivors, this book fills a lacuna in the scholarship regarding
Ukrainian experience. Kis details the women's resistance to the
brutality of camp conditions not only through the preservation of
customs and traditions from everyday home life, but also through
the frequent elision of regional and confessional differences.
Following the groundbreaking work of Anne Applebaum's Gulag: A
History (2003), this book is a must-read for anyone interested
in gendered strategies of survival, accommodation, and resistance
to the dehumanizing effects of the Gulag.
