The Gulag were located mainly in remote regions of Siberia and the Far North. They made significant contributions to the Soviet economy. Gulag prisoners constructed the White Sea-Baltic Canal, the Moscow-Volga Canal, the Baikal-Amur main railroad line, numerous hydroelectric stations, and strategic roads and industrial enterprises in remote regions. Gulag workers also did a significant amount of mining and lumbering.
