Location unknown,2 days after the naval battle

As the lines of prisoners of war walked in the frigid cold wasteland,the roughly 300 000 captured wondered what their fate would be,Slavery? Death? or worse?they began the journey with 33 000 more but many were killed in escape attempts or were killed by their guards because they didn't like the way they looked at them,but at least they were given warm clothing,as one officer name Peter said''you may be prisoners for the next 5 years but that doesn't mean you have to suffer from the cold like animals'' that gave some hope of survival.But soon they saw a sign that said:GULAG,every man knew this was not to be a fairy tale camp.

As they walked in they saw thousands of men working hard labor,cramped buildings and hundreds of guards with sticks around the complex,Whatever a Gulag is,it is not a nice place.Soon the Prisoners were split in groups and were told to wait for further instructions.After a few hours a man walked up to one of the last prisoners and began to talk to him.

''Hello what is you name?''asked the man clad in all Brown

''I am Alexander''replied the man

''what is your age and where do you live?''asked the man

''i am 23 and i live in a small town near the coast''Said alexander

''excellent'Now what is you rank in the kingdom?''asked the man

''what?'' asked alexander confused

''i said what are you,a farmer,fisherman,noble?''said the man now with a tone that was very cold

''i was a miner''said alecander

''Good...and Done! welcome to Vorkutiag Gulag! your name shall now be 249 930 until your release date 5 years from now,3 if you double you quotas of 10 tons daily for the next 3 years. Any tries to escape and you will die,don't meet the quotas you won't get food for the day,fall sick? then we will give you 2 days to get better then we shoot you,and finally any holidays in our Empire is a break day,if you have any questions save them until this man is in your room''said the man as he left to continue

Alexander was scared,3 years or hard labor,no food if he fails to meet their standard and death if he escapes,But at least he world have some breaks but then a loud boom was heard,when he looked at the sound he saw a dead prisoner he knew,Stevenson dead on the ground,he knew right away that he had tried to escape.

Later after all the prisoners were given numbers except the nobles and soldiers since birth,some 20 000 were led to a wall,many were confused to what was happening,the nobles since being captured had continued to boast about Lauria and how they would be sorry for even touching them

But soon 20 men of the 20 000 were told to stand in front of the wall,and the second they did a loud voice came on.

''you are guilty of war crimes against the people of Kua Toine,the court of Moscow found you guilty and sentenced you to be shot,effective immediately''said the voice in a monotone voice

As soon as the voice finished 20 loud CRACK has heard as the 20 men fell dead with a hole in their head.Then Men in green came and took the bodies away within minutes.Then the voice came back on

''will the next 20 make their way forward''said the voice in the same monotone voice,it was like this was normal for this voice.

Alexander could not believe the brutality he was seeing,as 20 men keep being killed one wave after another,until all 20 000 were dead,when he looked to the inmates for answers they looked at him and with sadness in their eyes said''this is normal,they kill those who can't be broken or will cause riots,we are just happy that the Tsar allows warm clothing and holidays otherwise all of you would probably be dead by now'' or something along those lines.

As he went to bed,alexander was scare he would die for being stubborn or the enemy.

Next morning

As alexander woke at the crack of dawn and made his way to the food line when a man walked to him.

''Your a Prisoner of war right?'' said the man

''Yes.what about it'' asked alexander

''you better watch out,because they don't like people that raised their fist against the Tsar,take me for example i wrote pro-Workers Leaflets and now I've been here for the past 15 years'' said the man as he took his loaf of bread

''15 years!'' shouted Alexander''then how does one survive this place?''

''You don't,it's a lie,they tell you that will be out in a few years but the reality is that you die from the works or shot by guards or when your to weak then they send you home,and worse any attempt to tell the world,or even family of what goes on here is your death wish as the Okhana hunts you down and poof your never seen again'' said the man as he took a bite of his bread

''Then i will never go home again...is this hell?''said Alexander losing hope

''don't worry,it is true that if you double your quota you go free but it's impossible for us considering were all in our 40's''said the man''If you want to go free faster you can try and write to the Tsar for a pardon,but he is so hellbent on never changing his mind after making it up that the chances are very slim''

''...well at least that's some hope...Thanks for the information...err Mr?''said Alexander

''Oh! where are my manners! my name is Leonid,Leonid Brezhnev ex-communist revolutionary ''said Brezhnev

''Alexander,No last name''said alexander

''No last name? well better give you one then...Oh i got it Lenin! after my dear friend Vladimir Lenin''said Brezhnev

''sounds nice...We better get to work before we get shot ha ha''said ''Lenin''

''HA! Da Comrade,now let me tell you about my Dear Comrade Lenin'' spoke Brezhnev

''Yes please,anything to pass the time'' said ''Lenin''

''Now it all began in 1887 when his older brother was...''said Brezhnev as he spoke for the whole day about Lenin to Alexander,who began to idolize him

Later in life as Alexander ''Lenin'' left the Gulag after 3 years and with the ideals of Lenin, returned home with his ideals,later writing a book in 1656 called A Worker's hell,based on the Gulag and his experience in there,it sold 4.8 million copies before they were banned in Russia, but he spark pro-reforms protest in Russia,shortly after Alexander Lenin Vanished and was never seen again,he is presumed dead by the hands of the Okhana
