Soviet political prison (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

gulag

'soviet political prison' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for gulag that I've seen before include "Labour camp for political prisoners" , "Soviet political prison system" , "Labour camp in the Soviet Union" , "place of detention" , "Soviet forced labour camp(s)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent, the USA Today and The Sun.
