Russia’s prison service says that 600 convicts will begin work on the Baikal-Amur Mainline railway this month. For some human rights activists and government critics, the idea of using prisoners for construction projects looks like a return to the gulag.

Russia to use soldiers to build railway as COVID-19 measures deplete workforce Reuters 2 hrs ago
By Gleb Stolyarov
MOSCOW, April 20 (Reuters) - Russia is bringing in soldiers to increase rail capacity in its far east and make up for a shortage of migrant labour during the coronavirus pandemic.
As part of a more than 6 trillion rouble ($79 billion) plan to upgrade and construct nationwide infrastructure, Russia is expanding its Baikal-Amur Mainline railway (BAM) to transport more coal and metal cargo to ports for export to Asia.
But coronavirus restrictions have prompted many foreign migrant workers to leave Russia, and Deputy Construction Minister Nikita Stasishin warned last year that construction projects could be slowed down by a workforce deficit.
