A cementary in Spassk near Karaganda in Kazakhstan. It is a difficult place for a photographer. This is where the dead prisoners from a special NKVD camp were buried. First, it was a camp for prisoners of war. After World War II, it became a forced-labour camp for political prisoners. The camp was a part of the Karagandian Corrective Labour Camp (Karlag). Thereby, it was a part of Stalinist system of labour camps.
