Collaboration of the Week

Help edit Involuntary settlements in the Soviet Union, Wikipedia's current Collaboration of the week! Please help to improve it to featured article standard.

Involuntary settlements in the Soviet Union took several forms. Though the most notorious was the Gulag system of labor camps, resettling of entire categories of population was another method of political repression. At the same time, it played a role in the colonization of remote areas of the Soviet Union. The latter role was specifically mentioned in the first Soviet decrees about involuntary labor camps.

You can still help with last week's article Freedom of the press (see how it improved), look at previous collaborations, or help pick next week's article.
