Soviet forced labour camp (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

gulag

(Other definitions for gulag that I've seen before include "Book by Solzhenitsyn 'The . . . . . Archipelago' about detention camps in USSR" , "USSR system of labour camps" , "Labour camp in the Soviet Union" , "where state's enemies were held" , "Soviet prison camps" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
