Ozerlag (Озерлаг) was an MVD special camp (osoblag No. 7, osoby lager No. 7) in the Soviet GULAG labor camp system for political prisoners. It was established in 1948 near Tayshet and included a chain of camp sites (lagernye punkty) along the Baikal–Amur Mainline branches constructed by the inmates, up to Bratsk and later further to Ust-Kut.[1][2]
