The Murmansk railroad and former Russian PM Alexander Trepov are both in this book. One must point out Trepov had been Minister of Communications before becoming PM and had helped build the Murmansk railroad. Construction was started of the railroad in 1914 with convict labor. In the 1915-197 period 70,000 German and Astro-Hungarian prisoners of war were sent to build the railroad of which 25,000 died do to diseases mostly typus, the cold and overwork made worse by short rations because some corrupt Tsarist officials stole some of the money to buy food. Around 70% of the survivors were in really poor shape when the work was finished. This is sometimes called the "Death railroad of WW I".
