Actually almost all were not shot. They were sentenced to fifteen years in Gulag. Then the Communists had a change of heart and increased the sentence to twenty years for all of them. Further consideration decided on twenty five years for each and every one.

There was a big nuclear installation over there, mines, uranium metal, fluorine production, gaseous diffusion, breeder reactors for plutonium, the whole shooting match. One of the "Suvarov" books, likely "Spetznatz", said that 5,000 prisoners a month went into that complex, and not a one ever came out. They handled really hot materials by hand there. Drug the stuff around with hoes and shoveled it into wheelbarrows. Worker's paradise.
