Vorkuta
Vorkuta (Russian: Воркута́; Komi: Вӧркута, Vörkuta; Nenets for place teems with bears) is a coal-mining town in the Komi Republic, Russia, situated just north of the Arctic Circle in the Pechora coal basin at the Usa River. Population: 70,548 (2010 Census); 84,917 (2002 Census); 115,646 (1989 Census).
History
Industrial coal fields by Vorkuta River were discovered in 1930 by geologist Georgy Chernov. Georgy was son of another geologist, Alexander Chernov, who promoted the development of the Pechora coal basin, which included Vorkuta fields. With this discovery coal mining industry started in Komi ASSR. At the time only southern parts of field were included in Komi ASSR. The northern part, including Vorkuta belonged to Nenets Autonomous Okrug of Arkhangelsk Oblast. In 1931 a geologist settlement was established by the coal field, with most of workers being inmates of Ukhta-Pechora Camp of GULAG (Ухтпечлаг, Ukhpechlag). The origins of the town of Vorkuta are associated in one of the more notorious forced labor camps of the Gulag which was established in 1932, with the start of the mining.

Vorkuta
by: VorkutaBlood ought to have drunken
Owing to I'm thirsting
And now the nightmare returns
The fire's blazing,
The caribou's standing in a narrow hutch
With rope woven of guts on it's neck,
Waiting for a gracious death
Tightens the tie,
Muddle fear in it's eyes,
Fear of unspeakable dread
Now the tie gets loose,allows the hand
There's no salvation,no shelter !
For sixty - one days by now lasts
The dread.the mpmentary
A deep breath & the tie tightens again
There's no human clemency
The dolur springs up seven times
The tie gets loose seven times
The hope rises seven times
And it learns to die seven times
For sixty - one days by now lasts
