Temlag
Temlag (Темла́г), Temnikovsky Corrective Labor Camp (Темниковский исправи́тельно-трудово́й ла́герь), or Temnikovsky ITL (Темниковский ИТЛ) was a camp of the Gulag labor camp system of the Soviet Union. It was in the Mordovian ASSR. Its name derives from the town of Temnikov because it was in Temnikov District, although its administration was in Yavas. It existed during 1931-1948. Major industries were logging, wood processing industries, and railroad construction. In addition it had a wide variety of other small-scale industries: construction, metalworking, railroad servicing, clothing and footwear production, etc. Upon liquidation its assets were split. The camp system was transferred to Dubravlag while the industries were reorganized into the Temnikovsky Industrial Combine of Gulag (Темниковский Промкомбинат ГУЛАГа), which itself did not manage any camps, and later it was also merged into Dubravlag.[http://www.memo.ru/history/nkvd/gulag/r3/r3-417.htm ТЕМНИКОВСКИЙ ИТЛ], from the reference book Система исправительно-трудовых лагерей в СССР
