In season 4, Hopper is held in a Soviet prison camp in what region?

In season 4, Hopper is held in a Soviet prison camp in what region? The answer is Kamchatka.

After surviving the destruction beneath Starcourt Mall, Jim Hopper is captured by Soviet forces and transported to a prison camp in Kamchatka, a remote peninsula in Russia’s Far East. The location explains why Joyce Byers and Murray Bauman must travel internationally to rescue him rather than simply search for him in Hawkins or another nearby city.

At the camp, Hopper and other prisoners are forced to perform brutal labor and eventually fight a Demogorgon that Soviet scientists have captured. Hopper learns that the creature is vulnerable to fire, so he uses improvised weapons and a lighter during the prison’s deadly confrontation. His imprisonment forms the Soviet strand of season 4 alongside Joyce, Murray, the smuggler Yuri, and guard Dmitri Antonov.

Kamchatka is a region and peninsula, not a city. Vladivostok is another Russian Far Eastern location, while Siberia is a vast geographic area often used loosely in popular conversation. The show specifically identifies Hopper’s prison setting as Kamchatka.
