Gulag
The Gulag is a part of the Soviet Installation Location in Rise of the Tomb Raider and one of two huge hub levels. The Name the Soviets gave the Gulag is Freedom Station[1]. In the Baba Yaga: The Temple of the Witch DLC the Gulag is often only called by that name[2]; in fact Serafima is very unhappy with this name.
