During Stalinist totalitarianism, among the Gulag labor forced camps there was a camp for women on the territory of former Kazakh Soviet Socialist Republic called ALZHIR (1938-1953). This specific name, which means Akmola Camp for Wives of Traitors of Motherland (translated from Russian "Akmolinskii Lager Zhen Izmennikov Rodiny") was given by the female prisoners themselves. This camp was different from others, for it imprisoned women for only being wives, mothers and daughters of political oppositionists.
