  • A major political, historical, human and economic fact of the 20th century, the Gulag, the extremely punitive Soviet concentration camp system, remains largely unknown.
    The history of the Gulag is long, complex and in many ways out of the ordinary. From the Revolution of 1917 to Gorbachev, touching on the civil war, the Great Terror, World War II, the Cold War and the death of Stalin, this series describes the workings of the Gulag.
    How and why did the USSR create this system of forced-labour camps in which 20 million prisoners were exploited and worked to the bone?
    Documentary: GULAG, THE STORY - Episode 1: From experimentation to setting up the forced labour system (1918-1936)
    Directed by: Patrick Rotman
    Production: KUIV Productions pour ARTE France

    Back in the 1970s I worked with a German colleague who had been imprisoned in the Gulag system from 1945 through 1953, I lent him the book "One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisonovich" by Alexander Solzhenitsyn, when he returned the book his comment was " Every word in that book is true". R I P Herman Ziegler.

His books are so bed written, with bed language! In prison he was working for administration like a snitch and provocateur!!! And GULAG (ГУЛАГ) it's nothing more than The General Directorate of Camps (prisons)!!!

      Stalin was a GIANT of his time. Joseph Stalin lived in a historical era, where the world required strong leadership. So, he had to be an energetic, severe leader. Imposing! Or, otherwise, “Mother Russia” would have disappeared from the map. Stalin was what he had to be: A Great Leader. A Great Statesman. Stalin inherited a barren, rural, forgotten country, illiterate, hungry, superstitious, lacking everything and, to make matters worse, helpless until eviction. Stalin turned it into an industrialized and powerful superpower, which made the world tremble. Russia was 100 years behind the West and, once the precariousness and devastation caused by the War had been overcome, he, Stalin, the “Founder of the USSR”, launched the world's first Aero-Space Program. Stalin received a Russia that was at war for almost 30 years. (Starting with the humiliating defeat against the Empire of Japan, 1904-1905. Russian Revolution, 1905. WWI, 1914-1918. Bolshevik Revolution 1917-1922. Civil War against the “White Russians”, 1922-1927. WWII 1940-1945… Plus the Pandemic of the so-called “Spanish Fever”, 1918-1920. And, plus the “Wall Street Financial Crash”, from 1929-1937). In other words, Stalin assumed power in a country hit by wars, sickened by the Pandemic and economically bankrupt by the world crisis. These calamities left Russia dispossessed and miserable. Stalin rescued her by imposing discipline and work. Stalin was great; magnificent, highly cultured and astute. He was a Titan with an iron fist. Loved by his people and feared by his enemies. It has been more than 70 years since Stalin died, and Western Propaganda doesn't stop vilifying him. For what purpose? What would be its use now? .

    My mother here in Canada described to me once a true story her grandmother told her once about how a relative of hers living in Germany who at first soon after the second world war was declared over failed to recognize her own son who had almost starved to death in a Russian concentration camp during the second world war. The second world war he survived only because it had been declared over before he starved to death while continuing to do his best to remain a consctientious objector while so many governments around were always relying on conscription of peasants into the military most to save the day. He survived by eating garbage. His favorite garbage to eat was potato peelings gained by peeling potatoes for the Russina instead officers there.

    Not much different to Australia back then. In 1918 there were 10 concentration camps for people of German or Austrian background and those of other ethnicities who lived in the Austrian Hungarian Empire. The British were sending people from all over Asia (ex German colonies) to those camps. Even those who were born in Australia and had German parents. The conditions were awful. Norwegian and Swiss ambassadors tried to intervene on few occassions. The British-Australian soldiers treated these prisoners as bad as the Aboriginals. Bayonetting was common, stealing from them too, raping etc. One could write a letter - but only in the English language. Most were never sent though. You won't find any memorials in those places today commemorating the victims. No trace is left.

    Solovki was used by Rissia back in the 18th century and after for anyone not liked by the authorities, often anyone with thoughts of freedom, human rights and the like. And so to this day. Slave labour, atrocious, unsafe working and living conditions, malnutrition, bad stuff. Therefore the high casualty rate. Those sort of jobs can be done properly....8 hour or so working days, safety equipment, tools machines, humane living conditions, above normal wages. For maybe 2 to 5 years. Remote distance living allowance, bonuses, free meals, free accomodation, approved washing, showering, toilet, laundry facilities, recreational facilities and other necessary needs catered for, medical, for example. A reason why those essentials were inadequate was probably because the Russian leaders had never touched a shovel in their hands and knew nothing, and therefore didn't give a stuff. Similarly, Russia fought its wars, as it is doing now during the illegal invasion of Ukraine, using human meat waves. Again, from its leadership, whereby people come last. The video shows many zeks. I wonder how many of rhem were Ukrainians, since I have read that 60%+ of zeks were Ukrainians. That makes sense since Russia, since 350 years ago, has been trying to bury, denationalise Ukraine and Ukrainians. I have also read about that Frenkel mentioned in the video. According to him, if a zek could last 3 months before expiring, the gulag system could be maintained. He convinced Stalin with this theory. Whenever dad saw Stalin on TV, he would cal him a 'son of a bitch'! Also, as in the video, in some place in Siberia, the Komi or Kolyma regions, during a spring thaw, a whole hillside uncovered multiple corpses of zeks. An eyewitness account portrays a burial procedure of a deceased zeks whereby a nude corpse is carted to a bog and unceremoniously thrown in the mud and observed to sink out of sight. Such were the burials, apparently. Those people cheering the party hacks were(and probably are now, the present ones) either duped with propaganda or rotten types themselves. Those 'kulaks' and many others, most even, convicted and sent to the gulags were probably innocent mostly. Those Kremlin gremlins, past and present, their lackeys, and many Russians, are the ones that should have been in the gulags before anyone else. Although, some Russians suffered, mostly it was Ukrainians and other minorities. In the present illegal invasion of Ukraine, I would not trust Putin and his hacks, nor 80% of Russians. If Russia was having more success in the illegal invasion, those 80% would be praising their scoundrel leaders.
