briefly explain the conflict of the novel and name the type of conflict (person vs person, person vs environment, person vs self, person vs society, person vs fate)

The protagonist is Shukov. He and the other inmates battle to suvive the harsh conditions of a Soviet prison camp. Much of the novel is just Shkhov trying to survive hence it's an external man vs. man / man vs. environment conflict. Shukov, however, faces the inner conflict between material goods and spiritual identity as the book goes on.
