The focus of the project GULag letters has been hardly considered in the GULag research overall so far. There has been hardly any research that has investigated the letters from GULag prisoners they exchanged with their dependants. Because of that this project will be firstly dedicated to the aquisition of so far unknown letters. This is going to happen by a systematic evaluation of personal NKWD archival materials, official NKWD archival records as well as assets from archives of organizations dedicated to former GULag prisoners. In addition, data collection will be facilitated through personal contacts to former GULag prisoners and their dependants. The researcher aims to get further insights by analysing about 1.000 letters from Russia, Lithuania and Germany from that time. Archival research and personal stories of former GULag prisoners have yielded deep insights into the administrative circumstances, censorship and and the general conditions of writing letters under GULag conditions. Among other things the content analysis will focus on the several facettes of interaction between prisoners and their dependants, the exchange of experiences from both sides of the barbed wire, the mutual humanitarian encouragement, the material support, the subject omissions in the letters as well as practices related to bypassing censorship related these extreme conditions. Results of this scientific research will be presented in form of a detailed annotated edition of GULag letters.

到目前为止，在整个GULag研究中几乎没有考虑到GULag信件项目的重点。几乎没有任何研究调查过古拉格囚犯与其家属交换的信件。因此，该项目将首先致力于获取迄今为止未知的信件。这将通过系统评估NKWD个人档案材料、NKWD官方档案记录以及致力于前Gulag囚犯的组织档案资产来实现。此外，还将通过与前古拉格囚犯及其家属的个人接触，为数据收集提供便利。研究人员旨在通过分析当时来自俄罗斯、立陶宛和德国的约1000封信件来获得进一步的见解。档案研究和前古拉格囚犯的个人故事使人们对行政环境、审查制度和在古拉格条件下写信的一般条件有了深刻的了解。除其他外，内容分析将侧重于囚犯及其家属之间互动的几个方面，铁丝网两边的经验交流，相互的人道主义鼓励，物质支持，信件中的主题遗漏以及与绕过与这些极端条件有关的审查有关的做法。这项科学研究的结果将以古拉格信件的详细注释版的形式呈现。
