  • Kara katorga (Russian: Карийская каторга, Kariyskaya katorga) was the name for a set of katorga prisons of extremely high security located along the Kara River in Transbaikalia (a tributary of the Shilka River, flowing into it at Ust-Karsk) and part of the system of Nerchinsk katorga. George Kennan noted in 1885, "The mines of Kara, which are the private property of his Imperial Majesty the Tsar, and are worked for his benefit, consist of a series of open gold placers." From south to north over 20 miles of the Kara River, they are Ust Kara, Lower Prison, Political Prison, Lower Diggings, Middle Kara, Upper Kara, and the Upper or Amurski Prison. The governor resides in the administrative center at Lower Diggings along with a company of soldiers and up to 300 convicts. The entire settlement area contained 1800 hard-labor convicts. It existed from 1838 to 1893. During 1873-1890 it held political prisoners.It was closed down because of the Kara Tragedy of 1889. The inmates of Kara katorga were used in gold mining work. Gold was found by the Kara River in 1832. The first rich lode, suitable for exploitation was found in 1838, giving rise to the Lower Kara Field (Нижне-карийский прииск). In 1839, the Upper Kara Field was discovered, and the Middle Kara Field in 1852. The Kara field turned out to be one of the richest in Transbaikalia, at their peak delivering 1 tonne of gold yearly. The majority of workers were criminal convicts, up to 2,000 in number. After national-liberation movements in Poland and Lithuania were suppressed, Polish and Lithuanian insurgents were sent to the Kara katorga. The first small group was sent there after the Polish uprising of 1830-1831. However, the majority of political convicts were Polish insurgents of 1863, about 180 persons. Later a number of Russian revolutionaries were sent there, the majority being members of the Narodnaya Volya organization. In total, 185 men and 32 women were political prisoners at Kara katorga.

  • De Kara-katorga (Russisch: Карийская каторга, Kariejskaja katorga) was de naam voor een aantal katorga gevangenissen met zeer streng regime langs de rivier de Kara in Transbaikalië en waren onderdeel van de Nertsjinsk-katorga. De katorga bestond van 1838 tot 1893. Van 1873 tot 1890 werden er politieke gevangenen vastgehouden.Na de Karatragedie van 1889 werd de Kara-katorga gesloten. De gevangenen in de Kara-kartorga werden ingezet in de . In 1832 was namelijk goud gevonden bij de Kararivier. De eerste rijke ader geschikt voor exploitatie werd gevonden in 1838, wat het Beneden-Karaveld (Нижне-карийский прииск) deed ontstaan. In 1839 werd het Boven-Karaveld ontdekt, gevolgd door het Middel-Karaveld in 1852. De velden aan de Kara bleken de rijkste te zijn van Transbaikalië. In de hoogtijdagen leverden ze jaarlijks 1 ton goud. Het grootste deel van de gevangenen waren veroordeelde criminelen (tot 2.000 personen). Na het ontstaan van nationale bevrijdingsbewegingen in Polen en Litouwen werd de Kara-katorga gebruikt voor het opsluiten van de Poolse en Litouwse opstandelingen. Na de Poolse opstand van 1830 tot 1831 werd de eerste kleine groep hiervandaan naar de Kara-katorga gestuurd. Het grootste deel kwam echter naar de katorga na de Januariopstand in 1863, in totaal ongeveer 180 personen. Later werden ook een aantal Russische revolutionairen naar de Kara-katorga gestuurd, waarvan het merendeel lid was van de Narodnaja Volja. In totaal werden 185 mannen en 32 vrouwen als politieke gevangenen te werk gesteld in de Kara-katorga. (nl)
