Gulag is defined by the Wikipedia website as "the government agency that administered the main Soviet forced labor camp systems during the Stalin era, from the 1930s until the 1950s."

"Bukovsky: So, are you ready to sign the papers today? Mickey Almon: If you blow me."
"Diczek: [Discussing the impossibility of escape with Mickey] For a break to succeed, you'd have to *start* it a thousand kilometers away from here. And then you'd have to cross ice in winter, or tundra and swamps in the summer. Not to mention the problem of food. The Englishman: Well, that's no problem. Just take along a sandwich. You know what a sandwich is, don't you, old boy? Diczek: Let's just play cards... The Englishman: [to Diczek] No, wait a minute, wait a minute! Look, we got a new boy here, and it's time he knew the facts. [to Mickey] The Englishman: A sandwich is when two prisoners take along a third, weaker prisoner on an escape. Someone they reckon can last maybe one or two days and then die. And when he does, they eat him."
