Probably Kolmya.
Check this account from Solzhenitsyn…”The Gulag Archipelago”
“We have to squeeze everything out of a prisoner in the first three months — after that we don’t need him anymore.” [5] The system of hard labor and minimal or no food reduced most prisoners to helpless “goners” (dokhodyaga, in Russian).
