Road of Bones
"Road of Bones" is a term that refers to a remote and treacherous stretch of the Kolyma Highway in Russia. This highway, built during the Stalin era, is notorious for its harsh conditions and the many lives lost during its construction. It connects the city of Magadan to the rest of the country, traversing a desolate landscape filled with permafrost.
The name "Road of Bones" symbolizes the countless prisoners who perished while building the road, often under brutal conditions. Many of these individuals were political prisoners sent to Gulag labor camps. Today, the road serves as a reminder of this dark chapter in Russian history.
