Vorkuta town have been risen as part of the Gulag Archipelago. Vorkuta region had the second largest coal fields in USSR. From late 30s to late 50s the region have been exploited by thousands of prisoners which most of them died. In the late 80s due to rising costs, coal mines have been slowly closing down.
