Initially, in February 1948 five osoblags were established, nameless, numbered from 1 to 5. Later they were given codenames, accordingly, Mineralny Минеральный (Minlag), Gorny Горный (Gorlag), Dubravny Дубравный (Dubravlag), Stepnoy Степной (Steplag) and Beregovoy Береговой (Berlag). Russian political prisoner and writer Georgy Demidov notices that this naming was arbitrary, unlike regular Gulag camps, which were commonly named after geographical features or major occupation.[2]
Later the following osoblags were created: Rechnoy Речной (Rechlag, August 1948), Ozyorny Озерный (Ozyorlag/Ozerlag, December 1948, Песчаный (Peschanlag [ru]), Луговой (Luglag [ru]), Камышовый (Kamyshlag [ru]), Дальний (Dallag, Ekibastuz [ru], distinguish from Dallag, Far East [ru]), and Водораздельный (Vodorazdellag [ru]).
In 1954, after the death of Stalin, most of them were reorganized into regular corrective labor camps.[3]
