Amur Railroad Corrective Labor Camp (Amurlag) (Russian: Амурский железнодорожный исправительно-трудовой лагерь, Амурлаг) was a subdivision of GULAG which existed during 1938-1941. It was created from the disbanded Bamlag. Its administration was headquartered in the settlement of Svobodny, Amur Oblast. Its main activity was railroad construction. Its peak headcount was about 125,000 (1938).[1]
In 1941 it was disestablished and its subcamps were resubordinated to ru:Бурлаг and ru:Свободлаг.[1]
