KamyshLag, Russian Камышлаг , was originally called Ossoblag No. 10 , d. H. Special camp No. 10 (from особый лагерь № 10, особлаг № 10 ). The name comes from Камышовый ла́герь , Kamyschowy d. H. Reed storage or reed storage . These designations for the originally numbered special bearings were only assigned later and mostly randomly, as a kind of code, mostly without any reference to reality; Kamyshovy was then the camp's telegraph code, which was assigned to the camp on October 30, 1951. It is believed that it was adopted for the camp designation. The full full name was Камышовый ИТЛ for Камышовый исправительно-трудовой лагерь - Kamyshovyj reform and labor camp.
