I am translating an article about the deportations of Chechens and Ingush in 1944.
The sentence in question reads exactly like this:
Они передавались в ведение управления ИЖЛАГА НКВД...
It's just that first abbreviation that's stumping me. I couldn't find it at www.sokr.ru or on www.rambler.ru.
Thanks a bunch in advance.

Dear Liv,
You can see above a link to the most comprehensive source on the matter I've managed to find on the Net. You will find there "The System of Work Camps of the USSR" and even an interactive map. There're hundreds of various structures mentioned there but no "ИЖЛАГ".
According to THIS source there were no any camps near Izhevsk but there were some near Izhma and thus Andrei may be right.
It's also quite possible the author of the text you're translating made a mistake. I think the best way in this situation is to transliterate the name of this organisation.
In case you consider this name of major importance you can contact the owners of the mentioned above web site with enquiry at [email protected] - they should know.
Good luck.

Dear Liv,
I\'m not 100% sure but I think it\'s Izhevsk Camp. The city of Izhevsk is situated in Udmurtia where there were lots of Soviet labour camps.
Hope it will help.

Dear Liv,
I\'ve found a list of all soviet camps here: http://memorial.krsk.ru/LAGER/dislok.htm
But I didn\'t see thare a camp under such a name. Perhaps it\'s not a camp but управление по аналогии с ГУЛАГом - Главным управлением лагерей. Then it\'ll be like that: ИЖЛАГ НКВД = Ижевское управление лагерей НКВД.

BTW \"labour camp\" & \"work camp\" both have the same translation in Russian - \"исправительно-трудовой лагерь\". I can\'t say why but I would prefer to translate it into English as \"labour camp\".

Thank you, Diana. I also live in Lithuania now and I'd like dd that this topic is painfully familiar not only to Lithuanians. We all were in a big camp - USSR.

Izhevsk concentration camp
Izhevsk concentration camp
Maybe you know that there were hundreds of concentration camps in the former Soviet Union. Very often the name of a camp consisted of the first syllable of the city or region where the camp was situated, while the second part, -lag, means 'camp'. From what I know (this theme is painfully familiar to almost all Lithuanians), IZHLAG might be a complex of camps near Izhevsk. See the reference for exact location.

Yes, Natalie, you are right about labour camp.

Спасибо, но я не думаю, что ваш вариант подойдет, т.к. Labor = трудовой, а речь идет о системе ИСПРАВИТЕЛЬНО-трудовых лагерей.

Ижемский лагерь / Izhma Concentration Camp
Как коренной ижевчанин, ответственно заявляю: никаких Ижевских лагерей в природе не существовало, тем более никогда чеченцы и ингуши в Удмуртию не депортировались. В войну в Удмуртию эвакуировались промышленные предприятия, а лагеря, как правило, располагались в более глухих районах Урала - на севере Пермской и Свердловской областей, но не в Удмуртии.
Ижма - поселок (или село) в республике Коми, скорее всего, лагерь был расположен именно там.
Regards :)

Вот здесь:
http://www.memo.ru/history/NKVD/GULAG/index.htm
есть список лагерей на территории бывшего СССР (претендующий на полноту).
В списке есть:
ВЕРХНЕ-ИЖЕМСКИЙ ИТЛ (Верхижемлаг, Верхнеижемлаг)
http://www.memo.ru/history/NKVD/GULAG/r3/r3-53.htm
УХТО-ИЖЕМСКИЙ ИТЛ (Ухтоижемский ИТЛ, Ухтижемлаг, Ухтоижемлаг)
http://www.memo.ru/history/NKVD/GULAG/r3/r3-443.htm
Однако, как видим, эти лагеря называли по другому, не Ижлаг, а Ижемлаг, да еще с добавкой перед этим (Верхне- или Ухто-). Так что скорее всего это не то.
Упоминания об Ижевске здесь нет, хотя на сайте, указанном Дианой, есть "лагерный пункт".
А вот что еще мне удалось найти:
http://www.hro.org/editions/karta/nr4/island.htm
Кроме Ижевска и Ижомы, есть еще Ижора, небольшая станция вблизи поселка Тайцы, в Ленинградской области, и там тоже был лагерь и есть кладбище.
Мне кажется, что вероятнее всего речь идет все же об Ижевске, но не исключено, что и о другом населенном пункте, о котором мы сейчас не вспомнили. Если нет возможности уточнить, о каком именно, может, написать IzhLag Labor Camp, не подавая расшифровки?

BTW, whatever version you choose, it\'s not concentration, but labor camp.
