[edit] Summary

Description

Japanese prisoners of war were held in the GULAG[1] from 1945 to 1948, when an agreement between the Soviet and Japanese government called for their return to Japan. They performed the same types of work as the other prisoners: building bridges, laying railroad tracks and making embankments. In this painting the Japanese are clearing the taiga for a railroad using the same rudimentary tools provided the other prisoners. The Japanese prisoners had better rations than the Russian inmates, but only because they were able to bring whatever they had with them when they were captured. They also brought spare uniforms. When they were sent back to Japan in the autumn of 1948 they left behind all their extra food and clothing—a kindness for the Russian prisoners.
