Answer by Lilitu
Yes, for example the gulag uprising at Vorkuta in 1953 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vorkuta_Uprising
Or one year later the Kengir uprising: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kengir_uprising

This one I know by heart, but there were others. Wiki has a list : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_uprisings_in_the_Gulag
