Since 1765 the monastery has been a Stavropigialʹnyĭ monastyrʹ, which meant it was directly subordinate to the Holy Sinod in Moscow. The monastery played a leading role in the economic life of 17th cent. Russia. It also was very important as a border fortress and maintained a strong garrison repelling attacks by Lithuanians, Swedes, and the English. From the 16th to the 20th cent. the monastery was also used as a place of exile for opponents of the tsarist government. In the present day it has become a Istoriko-arkhitekturnyĭ zapovednik) Encyc. of Ukraine: v. 4, p. 822 (Solovets Islands. A penal colony in the White Sea, Arkhangelsk oblast, Russia. In the 1420s and 1430s monks settled on the islands, and by the end of the 16th century they had become a major outpost of Russian monastic life in the far north. A strategic frontier fortress was built there. Unti 1903 the islands were used by the tsars as a prison and place of banishment for political and religious offenders. Most of the monks evacuated the islands after the Russian Revolution, and in 1923 the Bolsheviks established the Solovets Special Purpose Camp there, modeled on prisoner-of-wars camps. Later it became part of the Northern Special Purpose Camp Complex [no publs. in LC data base], and still later, Section Eight of the White Sea-Baltic Camp Complex [no publs. in LC data base]. In 1937 the camp in the Solovets Islands was renamed the Solovets Special Purpose Prison of the Main Administration of State Security of the USSR [no publs. in LC data base]. For most of the 1920s the regime in the camp was relatively mild, and the number of prisoners small. With the onset of the Stalinist terror the Solovets Island were packed with prisoners living in severe conditions, subjected to cold, hunger, punishment cells, and beatings. In 1931-3 many prisoners were sent to work on the White Sea Canal. Late in 1938 the prisoners were evacuated from the Solovets Islands to other camps, and the island became a naval base; Solowky Concentration Camp) Solovet︠s︡kiĭ kont︠s︡lagerʹ v monastyre, 1922-1939 gody, 1979-1987.
