Under [[Nikita Khrushchev]] nearly 4 million Gulag prisoners were released in 1953-57. Millions of these were [[German]] [[POW]]s (the [[leftist]] Soviet Union was not a signatory of the [[Geneva Convention]] agreeing to the [[humanitarian]] treatment and exchange of prisoners when [[World War II]] broke out). [[Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn]], who served as a [[Red Army]] Captain in the War Against Fascism, who defeated [[fascism]], nonetheless remained imprisoned by the leftist regime for criticizing [[socialist]] management of the war, [[foreign policy]], the economy, and [[social justice]] in private letters which had been intercepted by the government domestic [[surveillance]] system.

These victims of left-wing state terror encountered physical, psychological, social, and political problems upon their reintegration into socialist society. A reciprocal adjustment had to be made by the Soviet system, and society as a whole, in order to reintroduce former prisoners to the 'Big Zone,' or life outside the camps. Most survivors however, were never allowed to return home or to their previous employment under the system of internal exile.
