Minus is a verbal and social creation of the Soviet state, which through repression, discrimination and control created communities of "own" and "foreign", branding the latter by punitive methods and forming a specific language to denote them. The book deals with a special category of citizens of the "Soviet country" who were recognized as "socially dangerous" and banned from settling in a number of areas of the USSR after being forcibly "removed" from their places of residence and serving their sentences in the GULA system. Researchers analyze the process of constructing the Bolshevik concept of geographical isolation of the "disloyal" and define the logic of the creation of the Soviet space as a space of prohibitions. The regime of the Soviet territories is analyzed not only as a manifestation of Stalin's repressive policy, but also as an organic part of the functioning of the totalitarian mechanism, the first turns of which took place simultaneously with the seizure of power by the Bolsheviks.
