Several quotes from the summary of the doctoral thesis of M. Yu. Finally (known on LiveJournal under the alias corporately): 1. The study resulted in a new preliminary estimate of 800,000-850,000 deaths among those deployed after their release. This brought the death toll in the Gulag to 2.5 million (prisoners only). This estimate differs significantly from the only two figures currently available in the literature: the official "1.7 million" (Zamskov, Getty, Rittersporn, Whitecroft, etc.) and "6 million" (Alexopoulos). However, the lack of free access to sources at this stage of the research did not allow us to draw unequivocal conclusions. Therefore, the dissertation examined the range of possible survival rates for disabled people discharged for health reasons. The dissertation presented two less likely projections (350,000 and 1,000,000 deaths) as alternatives to the 800,000 figure, although the latter estimate was considered the most likely of the three and was justified. 2. Another fundamental quantitative discovery was the "lost" million disabled people who were released for medical reasons from the Gulag (prisoners only) in the period between 1930 and 1955. The importance of this aggregate figure is that each of the figures it contains represents a potential (but importantly not guaranteed) underestimation of deaths. Adding this figure to the literature reduces the existing uncertainty about the extent of medical discharges, which in turn reduces historiographical ambiguity about the likely number of additional Gulag-related deaths. 3. The million figure is not final.
