Abandoned ruins of the Mramorny camp of the Gulag forced-labour camp system in the Kodar Mountains in the Transbaikal Region in Siberia, Russia. The camp was established in January 1949 in the altitude about 2,150 metres (7,000 ft) above sea level to serve the nearby Uranium mine. The politician prisoners of Soviet regime used to work here in the extremely hard conditions forced to live in large canvas tents even in winter. The camp was closed in October 1951 because Uranium reserves were depleted here. The photograph was taken in August 1994.
