metadata.name: dc.description.abstract
metadata.value: The article examines the everyday life of the staff of Koltuban filtration camp. It operated from
  early 1942 to autumn 1943 in the west of the Chkalov (Orenburg) region. Its task was to filter
  Soviet soldiers who returned from captivity or who had been in the occupied territory. The
  article describes the identity of the camp commanders, the sources of recruitment of ordinary
  employees, their number, educational levels and gender composition. In many respects, the
  camp staff were close to inmates: forced mobilization for service, harsh material conditions,
  the desire to go to the front. Strict discipline was maintained among minor staff members,
  but large-scale theft and embezzlement was regularly carried out mainly by middle-ranking
  management. Everyday contacts between the guards and inmates primarily centred around
  trade and barter. Cases of aggression and cruelty are not reflected in the documents, neither
  are close contacts between the staff and the inmates. This article pays special attention to the
  tensions among the camp administration due to the uncertain status of the filtration camps.
  The special department not only maintained its independence in filtration but also claimed to
  play the main role in the management of the entire camp. The prosecutor sought to go beyond
  the boundaries of his functions. The commissar wanted to solve all issues on an equal footing
  with the head of the camp and make changes to the regime for inmates, which would turn the
  filtration camp into a kind of reserve military unit.
