Solovky Power
"Solovky Power" is a documentary about the first Soviet labor camp created by Lenin in 1923.

Though its name derives from the Russian word for nightingale, the title of the film echoes the term 'Soviet power', stressing the fact that from the very beginning the Soviet penal colonies were a world unto themselves.
