@redneck10ivan Okay get your facts straight. The USA was the first country to recognise Israel. The USSR put a proposal out to the UN called "United Nations Partition Plan for Palestine" which would set up two equal Jewish and Arab states in Palestine. Sadly this did not last and the 1948 Palestine war started. Then following the USA's move the USSR would be the second country to recognise Israel.
Also as a side note, Stalin was a massive cock. And also, wiki this shit. :D
@TheGinger1916 yes eveyone excepted that the israelis and palistinians would partition the land. The jews were ok with this...it was more then they ever had. Well the arabs wouldnt not have it.. They contacted there arab neighbors and all the bordering arab nation attacked the jews new state. (The arab nations told the arab residents to pack their things and come to the arab states while they wiped out the jews then they could return home.The arabs lost and the arabs could not return
I lvoe how russians call americans cruel and call us nazis. When no one was more cruel or evil then the soviets. The soviet system was the worst regime in the history of mankind. America is one of the top. To compare us to the nazis is the sign of an ignorant kid who belives youtube comments. We dont care about russia but russia sure love to hate us. You lost the c old war its overs get over it
@meronmotors Russians are very cruel, but all men are cruel in times of war regardless of ethnicity or nationality, my grandfather was in a prison camp in world war 2 and the American soldiers tortured him, he had to dig his own grave several times and then the soldiers would shoot at him missing his head by inches and start laughing, they would throw cigarettes on the ground and shoot the German soldiers hands if they reached for them, and they lived off of potato skins
@JuliusGulius I dont think you are being truthful. You have videos in your profile about "americans killin innocents" I see so many youtube members who "Had family in ww2 who saw this or did that:
@JuliusGulius I have heard from all sides that germans were treated with more respect by americans then any other POWS in ww2 by any sides. Where was your gfather kept,his rank? Surly he knows?
Ferguson further claims that... the British were also less likely to hand German prisoners over to the Soviet Union.[114] Large numbers of German prisoners were transferred between the Allies. The U.S gave 765,000 to France, 76,000 to Benelux countries, and 200,000 to the Soviet Union. The U.S. also chose to refuse to accept the surrender of German troops attempting to surrender in Saxony and Bohemia. These soldiers were instead handed over to the Soviet Union.[115]
"However, Ferguson states that "the mortality rate for German POW's in U.S. hands was more than 4 times higher than the rate for those who surrendered to the British", but that the United States total mortality rate was under 1% and better than every other country in World War II except for the British."
@JuliusGulius Its always the people who know people who have horror stories. The people who were there..they seemed to always miss it..strange. Look at e germany look at w germany. there is the answer
@meronmotors I don't have any videos of Americans killing innocents on my profile, I have 3 videos and they are all of me playing guitar. I have watched allot of world war 2 videos of all kinds though, I don't know what rank my Opi was he drove a tank for the majority of the war and he has passed away now, He didn't like to talk about the war that much, I have no reason to lie to anyone, what I said is 100% true, he weighed about 90 pounds when he got out of the prison camp
@meronmotors also look up pielelu beach landing HD I had a top comment on there for a couple months crediting your country for its patriotism, I have nothing against Americans and I'm sorry if you took offense, I wasn't trying to point fingers but just to explain that all mankind is cruel in times of war and to deny this is ignorant
Do you even know that barely any greater russians were bolsheviks. The communist had biggest support in Belarus, Poland and Ukraine. How can you even think that as muscovite or Saint Petersburg native was as cruel and primitive as some jewish rag salesman from Grodno or ukrainian potato farmer from Kiev.
@BENNYSIEGEL90 my point wasn't that any particular individuals or nation is more cruel or as cruel as any other, but that all mankind can be extremely cruel in times of war
Resultado de la extrema izquierda: Gulag ruso. Resultado de la extrema derecha: Auschwitz. hay que ir más allá de la ideología sino vamos a volver a repetir esta triste historia.

To all you antisemites; I hate communism and its legacy. I hate nazism and its legacy. Facts are that communist atrocities were larger and lasted much longer than nazism. To this day, Hitlerism is a dirty word and his practices, rightfully despicable. But why is communism still taken seriously, and the same venom attached to nazism not applied to Stalinism. I respect and admire Jewish people and also detest communism. Isn't this a more balanced view?
Incredible. I am surprised that ther are this many pictures available in light of the secrecy of the government.
If you want to read a good, rather short book on life in a gulag, let me suggest "A Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovitch" by Alexander Solzhenitsyn. Revealing and depressing.
Never trust a government, or a large company. Anyone who wants power that much is probably a psychopath. Hitler, Stalin, Mao, Trump, Blankfein, whoever- the race and religion are meaningless, the desire to grasp and dominate are the same.
@garebear1015 First of all, don't trust your own government. It invents fairy tales about monsters elsewhere, so you don't notice your own homemade monsters, still ruling you.
I wonder why people in the West very much loved the Soviet criminals, but they do not loved their criminals? Strange you have a psychology. If you want, then we can send you Russian criminals to clean your brains.
It is clear that the inherent vice of capitalism is the unequal sharing of blessings, and that the inherent virtue of socialism is the equal sharing of miseries.
its funny when a communist or a neo nazi says that the dictator of their side was good, while the dictator of the other side was evil, even though hitler and stalin were both ruthless, genocidal monsters.
@jovanj777 the atomic bombs were completely justified, i hate it when people try to make the japanese look like the victims in the war. they were brutal and genocidal, just like the nazis, they needed to be stopped as quickly as possible.
and i will admit that we have done terrible things, but the US is still better than most other countries, at least morally.
@pyramidheadkitten9 I would rather say treaty of Versailles created conditions for another war. Maybe because negotiations was not lead by French or German.
@duvexy What a bullshit! communist promote equality among working people, while nazism promoted equality among 'superior race' no matter are people of this race capitalists or not!!!
Communists were purging people for their wrong beliefs, while nazies just made genocide of whole ethnics!
@kosiak10851 Oh you mean that it was ok that Pol Pot was determined to make everyone equal even if he had to kill a couple million people to do it. All in the name of a utopia was ok?
1. A.I.Solzshenitsin was very ideologized writer. It is a mistake to learn history of Soviet penitentiary system by fiction of Solzshenitsin. Falsehood and true are very tightly there.
2. Yes, N.Korea, USA, Russia, China and many other countries.
In the first half of XX century: UK, USA, USSR, Poland and many other countries.
P.S. I do not know about prison-camps in Vietnam and Cuba.
@Scoutrussp7: The HUGE trouble is that many, many people in the Soviet GULags should never have ended up there, including Aljeksándr Isájevich Solzhjeñícïn (Solzhenitsyn) himself (even if he later credited his 10 years of suffering for waking him up to the evils of Communism and the people who made it what it became...)!!!
Solzhenitsyn got punished for cowardice. In 1942, when he got an order to move into Stalingrad, he didn't execute order, said that he doesn't want to be a cannon fodder. He's lucky that he didn't shoot on the spot.
@Scoutrussp7: That sounds libellous!!! Most certainly, he was put into the GULag in 1944-45, NOT 1942; consequently, that idea of "cowardice" meriting his being shot on the spot is surely false!!
true education is so important, without true education there is no way to survive, no way to resist, no way to see the con games coming. How can we see past con games? After all that's what this is right here with the gulags, a con game. Like the "Hegalian Dialectic" a con game used to usher in the soviet regime, but also used to spin information which comes out as to whom is creating these con games ultimately. The art of con-ology.
The international Jewish Communist world conspiracy would have spread throughout Europe, killing tens of millions more if Hitler hadn't risen to power to fight it.
@hughtub On the contrary, it's these GULags and monstrosities associated therewith that taught a great deal to Hitler and his equally-soulless henchmen!!! Besides, have you thought about WHY did so many Jews end up for Communism in Russia?? Have you read anything about how fiendish the carjist (Tsarist) pogroms were before Communism came along? The Russian Jews were DESPERATE for ANYTHING that would be better than what Russia had been up to then - many were to be most bitterly disappointed!
That was AT BEST; at worst, MANY Soviet Jews were to fall victim to Stáljin's purges and his paranoia!!! Eminent people of Jewish extraction like Kámjeñev, Zinóvijev, Bukhárin, Tróckiy (Trotsky, real name Brónshtain) - and yes, such monsters indeed as Jágoda and Jezhóv also included - ALL perished on that Grúzijan (Georgian) super-monster's orders!!!!!
It is shocking for every honest reseacher of history how the united Jewish mainstream media monopoly is still detracting attention from Jewish atrocities and genocide on the christian Russian, Ucrainian and Polish ( Katyn ! ) population through Jewish commissars in the times of bolchewism/communism. Not to forget the Arminian holocaust...altogether more than 50 Million european Christians.
But their fake Holocaust™ has become untouchable, protected by "hate speech laws" or else prison.
@mickiandalusia: HOLD IT!!!! Much as you're not wrong about what happened with Russians, Ukrainians, Poles and many others thanks to the GULags and Communism generally, the Jews as a race should not be all held responsible by any means for those monstrosities; furthermore, the Shoah (Holocaust) DID happen all right!!!! The real truth is that Nazism, Communism, Fascism and "pure" Islâm are all different sides of the very same coin!!!
In fact, when Stáljin died in 1953, he was on the brink of ordering a massive anti-Jewish pogrom (starting especially with doctors who were supposed to be in charge of looking after the Soviet leaders!!). Of course, as with so many of his previous such monstrosities, it was meant to cover up the destruction and disappearance of many of his inner circle whom he distrusted and feared: Mólotov, Mikoján, Bjérija, Maljenkóv. However, his would-be victims knew his game and had him murdered instead.
It's funny how Holocaust deniers have no problem with accepting the facts of Soviet atrocities. I wonder if that is because there were a few secular Jews involved with the Soviets and they think it gives them more reason to hate Jews.
They don't really want to play the numbers game anyway. Christianity, Capitalism, and colonialism have killed far more people than Communism ever did, but they don't want to talk about that.
Thank you for posting this video. It is important for us to remember sad chapters like the Nazi's treatment of the Jews, the Poles, and others. But how scary it is that so many people have totally forgotten the even more excessive evils found in the Soviet Union, which killed so many more people that Nazi Germany and lasted many many years longer.
@chrisman737 Did the SU had killing camps? Did the commies burn people alive? Did they turn any city into rubble? Did they any town into a huge giant lake like Hitler planned to do to Moscow? Did every town have a gallows on the main square? Did people get flogged for coming late to work? Did people get beaten for having their hands in their pockets in the presence of an officer? Did they abolish all education? Which "even more excessive evils" do you mean, please enlighten me?
@RussianBarbarian, the USSR had camps and psychiatric prisons (the latter were for those who believed in God, which the Soviets officially categorized as mental illness). Torture, rape, beatings were all commonplace. They forcibly invaded many nations. The Soviets forcibly starved the Ukrainians, of course, and Stalin was in the habit of "solving" problems by merely killing those who were involved. Estimates vary, but the USSR over the years may have killed up to 40 million people.
@chrisman737 The USSR didn't have killing camps. Gulags were labor camps where people died from the miserable conditions and the authorities didn't care but you can't compare it to extermination camps in Germany. As for the rapes and tortures, yes they existed, but it doesn't mean they were worse. Most people went to school, work, university, cinema, planned a family etc. There were no people being burned alive and no cities turned into huge artificial lake like Hitler planned to do
@RussianBarbarian, thanks for correcting my error. Let's see, the Gulags weren't killing camps because you were gassed to death, you were only worked to death. Gee, I really wonder which one was better. You are forgetting the massive invasions the USSR did during World War II and after -- and the world seemed to say nothing. Hitler marched into France and people were shocked. The USSR marched into Poland, Latvia, Lithuania, and Estonia, and it seems that many people didn't even notice.
@chrisman737 to Moscow. And no city was demolished by Stalin, people were not burned alive, education was not abolished. The Soviets used violence as a tool to establish and maintain their power while fore the Nazis violence was a goal per se. Soviet Union gradually became ashamed of its violence and tried to hide it while the Nazis used as much terror as possible and as openly as possible. In the Soviet Union people were not allowed to talk about the atrocities while Nazis hanged posters with
@chrisman737 death threats and forced people to watch the floggings of those who came late to work. In the USSR some elements that were deemed harmful were removed from society, an NKVD officer was a citizen like everyone else. In Nazi ideology threats and violence were directed at the mainstream and every single German was superior to every Russian. People were beaten for having their hands in their pockets when a German officer passed by. Please learn some facts and see things in perspective.
@RussianBarbarian, I had a friend of the family who was Ukrainian. You talk about people being beaten for having hands in their pockets. This man's two aunts had a Bible open in public. They were arrested and sent to Siberia -- for life.
@RussianBarbarian: Actually, Khrushchjóv did turn large parts of Budapest into rubble in 1956 when the Hungarian Revolution took place!!! Furthermore, the Commies DID have gas chambers at Vórkuta in 1939, well before Hitler got to build his Auschwitz-Birkenau!!!! And who abolished all education? Pol Pot, a student of Mao, Ljéñin and Stáljin!!!!
@chrisman737 for years people could say nothing about stalins regime because russia was our ally, orwells animal farm was turned down by his usual publisher because it attacked the USSR.
"The Bolshevik Revolution in Russia was the Work of Jewish Brains, Jewish Dissatisfaction and Jewish Planning, whose goal is to create a New Order in the world.
What was performed in so excellent a way in Russia, thanks to Jewish Brains and Jewish planning, shall also, through the same mental and Physical forces, Become a reality all over the world."
-American Hebrew, September 8, 1920
"Some call it Marxism — I call it Judaism."
-The American Bulletin, Rabbi S. Wise, May 5, 1935
@chrisman737 Indeed, the Nazi murder machine killed 10 million human beings, of which, 6 million were of the Jewish faith. Since it began, the Communist Empire has killed more than 100 million, mostly Christian. Each human life is precious.
@chrisman737 And still going onto this day in America but kept a secret from the masses, what is amazing is how American propaganda shit is still taken seriously
@chrisman737 Also we should not forget about Tule Lake concentration camp. At leas 120000- 150000 were arrested just because they were Japanese. And the most interesting thing that there were arrested before Pearl Harbor. Also we must remember in what way GB killed people in its colonies.
To anyone who has never read Gulag Archipelago it is in my opinion one of the most indepth and powerful books ever written. It is like the story from behind the "Iron Curtain" It is moving because the author writes from his personal experience inside these places and tells the stories of fellow political prisoners.
It still amazes me to think this was still happening up to 1956 post WWII and reading this alongside the stories of Nazi persecution it is a real eye opener!
The number of people viewing this video is somewhere around eight and a half thousand.....I say it should ve' been seen, felt and tears shed for by billions,,,every man, and women on earth.....
@iamgedanken: The music is the "Vocalise" by Sjergjéy Vasíljevich Rakhmáñinov, a (wordless) song of his (Op.34 #14). Here the English Chamber Orchestra under the direction of Jeffrey Tate accompany Renée Fleming in this piece.
An equally (if not even more so!!) appropriate background soundtrack for an expanded version of this video would be the last movement of Chaykóvskiy's Sixth Symphony, Op.74 ("Pathétique").
And after Krushev's slight relaxing of controls, Brezhnev once again tightened them and stifled all mention of - serious - systemic economic and political problems in the USSR. Fucking police-state.
Communism of the 20s, 30s, 40s and early 50s was basically the same thing as Fascism. Stalin was even worse than Hitler in the way that he destroyed his own people by the million. Krushev freed many people from the Gulags, but cultural oppression and stifling of free speech and free press was still very much the norm. Authors had chapters taken out of their books for raising problems and issues of the communist/socialist system.
@alexkvaskov: All well said - the only thing you may wish to remember is that Stáljin was not a Russian but a Grúzijan (Georgian). Yes, fellow-Orthodox religiously, but otherwise historians like Montefiore have compared the Grúzijan people more to Southern Italians or Sicilians than to ethnic Russians or Ukrainians in terms of their personalities, habits, etc.
@alexkvaskov: Good that you're aware, as that inclines me to think that Iósif Vissariónovich was therefore thinking of himself as more a Grúzijan than a Russian. In other words, there seem to be grounds to believe that he didn't really bond with the Russians as a people. I could be wrong, but it seems that whatever little nationalistic feeling he could have had (very little, given his being such a Marxist as he was!!!) would have gravitated to the Georgian people.
@alexkvaskov: Well said!!! You're quite right, although his diet frequently gravitated to that of things Georgian (if I remember aright what Montefiore wrote about him in his biographies about the monster). Nevertheless, due to a) his psychopathology and b) Marxism being internationally-oriented, it's unlikely that any such favouring amounted to anything substantial.
This is happenning in America today. Here's how it works in America. Nazi KKKops (cops) have you gang stalking to increase the stress level in your life to get you to do something stupid so they can take you to their white prosecutor, to a white judge and jury to send you to a private prison to have you work for $0.21 per hour for their white corporate buddies.
nice video and yes for all those with immature comments trying to compare with USA etc. Please stop that at once. Those people stood up to something they believe and had a guts to go and slave for it. In a cold, tortures, killing fields etc.
@archanticipator: NO - as Aljeksándr Isájevich chronicled, it started into existence the instant when Ljéñin took power on 1917/11/07, and it didn't die until the fall of Communism as of 1991/12/31. In fact, the Russian prison system STILL has many of its features living through this very day!!!!
In fact, the GULAG took over the prisons and also the monasteries of the Cárjist (Tsarist) period, dehumanised them and made them a whole lot worse than they ever had been!!! Thus, one version or other of the GULags have been present for over half a millenium (500 years, in other words!!)!!!!
@archanticipator: OFFICIALLY, the GULag came into being in 1930 and was supposedly disbanded in 1960; however, there's no question that it existed (even if not under that name) already in 1919 (according to Wikipedia, for whatever worth that source actually is).
Otherwise, the first chapter in Book 3 (in Volume 2) of the GULag is titled "The Guns of Aurora", with the 2nd being "The GULag arises from the sea" and 3rd "The GULag metastasises".
@archanticipator: Still, it would seem that Aljeksándr Isájevich is indicating that Ljéñin already had in mind what the GULag would be like well before Stáljin succeeded him in 1924. In other words, while they took a pre-existing system and worked it into what they intended it to be, they still very much had their own vision as to how they wanted it!!
In your list, don't forget North Korea, Cuba and perhaps Vietnam and/or Laos. To boot, under Pol Pot, that's what Cambodia was like...
it's ironic how i gave it a thumbs up, i don't like it, it's the same answer i gave to the people that asked me if i like that kind of reading, i told them i hate the book but i have to read it.
History and time will allow the next generation to start investigating the attocities of this event. Suffering was doine by the state system that knew nothing on being humain.
the 1969 book "The Myth of the Six Million" by the Harvard phd David Hoggan argued that the WW2 victors manufactured the holocaust claims to popularize the sustained occupation of Germany, the executions of Germans and the theft of Palestine. The book also alleged that The Allies used the bogus holocaust stories to deflect scrutiny away from their own war crimes at Katyn, Cologne, Danzig, Dresden, Hamburg, Berlin, Royan, Tokyo, Hiroshima, Nagasaki and the notorious Soviet Gulag camps.
@purleses david hoggan is a living proof , in case anyone needed one, that you can have a harvard PHD and still be a blathering idiot. there are plenty of people just like him in russia nowadays, PHD's galore, claiming that there was no gulag, millions never perished there, and stalin was a male version of mother theresa. so what? in mongolia they built a statue to ghengis khan, an undisputed mass murderer. i guess there is a mongolian PHD somewhere saying ghengis was kind to animals.
it pays of when a small group controls 80% of the schools and information on this planet so, that no one finds out that all the overkill in world history was organized by them.the internet is the world detective. this detective they want to destroy as it/he identifies them as the criminal of the world.the fear of prosecution makes them race to push hate crime laws worldwide-for this is the only kind of protection that might save them from the mass grave called planet earth.
Even though some pictures are not necessarily from the GULAG camps it's not denying the main fact, Russian GULAG and something like German Auschwitz = are siblings, they are twins with the same goal - murder as many people as possible (political reason or national - doesn't matter). That's why I always say - we need to make "Nuremberg process" for Communism as well. We need to punish regimes with anti-humanitarian ideology, and Communism must be the first one to be punished!
it was a huge zionist experiemnt done by these mostly atheistic international Jews .These Jews were not EVEN RUSSIANS!!! they were all over ,some from USA ,some from Poland,Hungary ,Czech,French etc ..they all hated Russian Christians .......and out kids cant learnt about this ,just because we live under the huge Zionist political correctness brainwashing !only Holocaust TM is allowed to be a genocide..:-((((
Who told you that WEST don't know nothing about Gulag? Trust me, I am Westerner all my life, and I know a lot. As a fact of matter, Western, in general, knows much more about GULAG than most of the Russian citizens. And talking about experiments.... I think, no offense, that you were born for experiment - how to interbreed a pig with a monkey, cause the bullshit you say is only good for animals, not human beings;)
Jews staying in concetration work camps were treated like Hilton hotel guests comparing to Gulag brutality .
you cant even compare suffereing done by Russian christian people in gulags and not only Stalin ..all the way since Lenin and Bronstein ( Trocky )-talmudic jewish Cheka has been sending them there!!!!..
@napajedlacek: How about Jágoda or Jezhóv??? Kámjeñev, Zinóviev, Bukhárin?? They ALL were Jews, and all killed under Stáljin's orders!!! The same applies to Ljév Tróckiy (Trotsky), who was murdered in Mexico City with an ice-pick!!!
Solzhewnitsyn was in "SOviet slaughter camp" for 14 years, and died at more thn 90 years age, this show how Soviet camp are similar to Aschwitz. In the some time (until 1950 more or less) you can find sicilian kids that work in sulfur mines and died at early age. These are people that did hard job, I see it in real and also did it sometime. You can choise a more "dramatic" miusic ..
It is a fact that photos that have been proved to be of Gulag prisoners were displayed as Jewish holocaust victims and had to be removed from the Israeli Holocaust Museum.
...there are even FICTIONAL movies about the Jewish holocaust now, such as "The Reader" and "The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas" which is aimed specifically at children. Yet these children have no such information of the many, MANY more who died horrific deaths in the Gulag prisons.
Why is that???
There is a need not only to compare such unproportionate information they are giving us, but also to question why.
I think it's important to compare and question the amount of information we receive about such atrocities - your word 'tragedies' just makes them sound like some unavoidable accidents, forgetting all the politics involved.
As you say, the deaths of 50 MILLION people are unknown in the West, yet the Jewish holocaust is taught in our schools, universities and there are countless Hollywood movies about it....
Thank you so much for posting this. There is very little information around on the Russian Holocaust. It's a disgrace that Solzhenitzyn and his work aren't more publicised in the West, and yet Hollywood churns out movie after movie about the plight of the Jews. Why is that? Twice as many died in the Gulags and the conditions and brutality were much worse.
The injustice of it is heart-breaking. The story of those poor, unfortunate people should never be forgotten.
You're right. There is little nown about this in the West. But why the need to comare these terrible events. Just as if one tragedy would be less terrible for the victims.
You can find and order Solzhenitzyn bboks everywhere. May he isnt loved at past, may be because in ELtzin age he told that the present ("liberal democratic" Eltzin RUssia)
@sergiorgio2000: It should be mentioned that Solzhjeñícïn (Solzhenitsyn) didn't want 1) the kind of "robber-capitalism" (the worst kind possible) that happened to Russia under Borís Ñikolájevich Jélcïn (Jéltsyn), where the poor were forced to sell what belongings they had and become utterly destitute; 2) he didn't want the materialism being fostered in the West (as consumerism, hedonism, etc.) that in the end was linking up to a number of Communism's values. He wanted something more spiritual
Nowhere is perfect. It is a country through which a racial divide runs like a zip. It has a shockingly huge prison population. It is a country like any other where people will step on eachothers faces to climb the social, corporate or any other ladder. In short like any other it is very very far from being perfect. The US constitution was written on paper. Life is not lived on paper. Forget all the misty eyed stuff and wake up.
I mean that in spite of its shortcomings, the United States represents the best potentialities of human social interactions. It's clearly a work in progress, but the U.S. founded on principles that value the individual life. Gulags and concentration camps where people lives mean less than nothing are the antithesis of this. Individual life versus the collective "good" is at issue. Fascism and communism subordinated the individual life to the collective.
Its the opposite. Its a work in regress. The divide caused by the theft and enslaving the minority to the majority in socialist democracy instead of a democratic republic.
if you mean the U.S. is becoming more socialist, I agree. As long as we still have the Constitution and Bill of Rights, there's still hope that things will get better. I'm still convinced that it's the freest country on earth and supports indivudal life and self-directed success and happiness more than any other place in existence. I wouldn't choose to live anywhere else.
I just got back from Ukraine and Slovenija. Its really interesting because they have no idea what capitalism really is. Like our children they have been indoctrinated into believing its greed instead of choice. Since the government only allows them a tiny bit of capitalism they are fooling the people and holding them under communism with a lie.
The worst part it it destroys the fabric of culture. They are used to it and dont have living in America to compare it to. If our children are bron into it the will know nothing else.
And after the collapse the mafia gets so much stronger because there is no real free market. The government still controls everything
I'm sorry to hear it. Government is supposed to protect it's citizens and provide a safe environment for a stable, free existence. Peaceful or violent revolution and the creation of a new political entity is the only way to transform such a mess. Complete overhaul is the only way sometimes. I hope people are allowed to own weapons there. I think this is pivotal to American self-reliance. If you are helpless to protect yourself and your property, you can easily be exploited and enslaved.
The other interesting thing is how they will talk about things Americans would consider horrifing to not be able to do because of government as its "just like in America" You feel bad to say no really its not like that in America
I look forward to seeing positive changes there. People naturally want to be free, but it takes courage and hard work and a little luck. Good luck to you.
I don't know how this world can contain gulags and funniest home videos, this music and buster keaton. America, the beautiful. land of the free and home of the brave. no matter what it's shortcomings, there is and has never been anything better or more pro-human in the world. viva las vegas :).

@meronmotors Russians are very cruel, but all men are cruel in times of war regardless of ethnicity or nationality, my grandfather was in a prison camp in world war 2 and the American soldiers tortured him, he had to dig his own grave several times and then the soldiers would shoot at him missing his head by inches and start laughing, they would throw cigarettes on the ground and shoot the German soldiers hands if they reached for them, and they lived off of potato skins

Ferguson further claims that... the British were also less likely to hand German prisoners over to the Soviet Union.[114] Large numbers of German prisoners were transferred between the Allies. The U.S gave 765,000 to France, 76,000 to Benelux countries, and 200,000 to the Soviet Union. The U.S. also chose to refuse to accept the surrender of German troops attempting to surrender in Saxony and Bohemia. These soldiers were instead handed over to the Soviet Union.[115]

"However, Ferguson states that "the mortality rate for German POW's in U.S. hands was more than 4 times higher than the rate for those who surrendered to the British", but that the United States total mortality rate was under 1% and better than every other country in World War II except for the British."

To all you antisemites; I hate communism and its legacy. I hate nazism and its legacy. Facts are that communist atrocities were larger and lasted much longer than nazism. To this day, Hitlerism is a dirty word and his practices, rightfully despicable. But why is communism still taken seriously, and the same venom attached to nazism not applied to Stalinism. I respect and admire Jewish people and also detest communism. Isn't this a more balanced view?

In fact, when Stáljin died in 1953, he was on the brink of ordering a massive anti-Jewish pogrom (starting especially with doctors who were supposed to be in charge of looking after the Soviet leaders!!). Of course, as with so many of his previous such monstrosities, it was meant to cover up the destruction and disappearance of many of his inner circle whom he distrusted and feared: Mólotov, Mikoján, Bjérija, Maljenkóv. However, his would-be victims knew his game and had him murdered instead.

@RussianBarbarian, the USSR had camps and psychiatric prisons (the latter were for those who believed in God, which the Soviets officially categorized as mental illness). Torture, rape, beatings were all commonplace. They forcibly invaded many nations. The Soviets forcibly starved the Ukrainians, of course, and Stalin was in the habit of "solving" problems by merely killing those who were involved. Estimates vary, but the USSR over the years may have killed up to 40 million people.

@chrisman737 The USSR didn't have killing camps. Gulags were labor camps where people died from the miserable conditions and the authorities didn't care but you can't compare it to extermination camps in Germany. As for the rapes and tortures, yes they existed, but it doesn't mean they were worse. Most people went to school, work, university, cinema, planned a family etc. There were no people being burned alive and no cities turned into huge artificial lake like Hitler planned to do

Communism of the 20s, 30s, 40s and early 50s was basically the same thing as Fascism. Stalin was even worse than Hitler in the way that he destroyed his own people by the million. Krushev freed many people from the Gulags, but cultural oppression and stifling of free speech and free press was still very much the norm. Authors had chapters taken out of their books for raising problems and issues of the communist/socialist system.

@alexkvaskov: All well said - the only thing you may wish to remember is that Stáljin was not a Russian but a Grúzijan (Georgian).

@alexkvaskov: Good that you're aware, as that inclines me to think that Iósif Vissariónovich was therefore thinking of himself as more a Grúzijan than a Russian. In other words, there seem to be grounds to believe that he didn't really bond with the Russians as a people. I could be wrong, but it seems that whatever little nationalistic feeling he could have had (very little, given his being such a Marxist as he was!!!) would have gravitated to the Georgian people.

In fact, the GULAG took over the prisons and also the monasteries of the Cárjist (Tsarist) period, dehumanised them and made them a whole lot worse than they ever had been!!! Thus, one version or other of the GULags have been present for over half a millenium (500 years, in other words!!)!!!!

@LJBSasha 1. Aljeksándr Isájevich was wrong (or said lies).
GULAG existed 1934 - 1960. Check information.
GULAG was formed at 1936 (1930-1936) and was disbanded at 1960 (1956-1960).
2. Prison is prison. Where is "good prisons"? What is "good prison"?

Otherwise, the first chapter in Book 3 (in Volume 2) of the GULag is titled "The Guns of Aurora", with the 2nd being "The GULag arises from the sea" and 3rd "The GULag metastasises".

Sorry for my Eng.

@archanticipator: Still, it would seem that Aljeksándr Isájevich is indicating that Ljéñin already had in mind what the GULag would be like well before Stáljin succeeded him in 1924. In other words, while they took a pre-existing system and worked it into what they intended it to be, they still very much had their own vision as to how they wanted it!!

One may pay booked visit on Auschwitz.. however, beside the usual parade in the 9th of May, NOT A WESTERN LEADER EVER PAYS A VISIT TO THE GULAGS..
it's this all, to not concern the jews that some BIGGER catastrophe than theirs, happened to others?

it's ironic how i gave it a thumbs up, i don't like it, it's the same answer i gave to the people that asked me if i like that kind of reading, i told them i hate the book but i have to read it.

History and time will allow the next generation to start investigating the attocities of this event. Suffering was doine by the state system that knew nothing on being humain.

Nah. Israel needs the Holocaust so publicity about communist crimes is not good PR to the jews.

the 1969 book "The Myth of the Six Million" by the Harvard phd David Hoggan argued that the WW2 victors manufactured the holocaust claims to popularize the sustained occupation of Germany, the executions of Germans and the theft of Palestine. The book also alleged that The Allies used the bogus holocaust stories to deflect scrutiny away from their own war crimes at Katyn, Cologne, Danzig, Dresden, Hamburg, Berlin, Royan, Tokyo, Hiroshima, Nagasaki and the notorious Soviet Gulag camps.

@purleses david hoggan is a living proof , in case anyone needed one, that you can have a harvard PHD and still be a blathering idiot. there are plenty of people just like him in russia nowadays, PHD's galore, claiming that there was no gulag, millions never perished there, and stalin was a male version of mother theresa. so what? in mongolia they built a statue to ghengis khan, an undisputed mass murderer. i guess there is a mongolian PHD somewhere saying ghengis was kind to animals.

it pays of when a small group controls 80% of the schools and information on this planet so, that no one finds out that all the overkill in world history was organized by them.the internet is the world detective. this detective they want to destroy as it/he identifies them as the criminal of the world.the fear of prosecution makes them race to push hate crime laws worldwide-for this is the only kind of protection that might save them from the mass grave called planet earth.

Even though some pictures are not necessarily from the GULAG camps it's not denying the main fact, Russian GULAG and something like German Auschwitz = are siblings, they are twins with the same goal - murder as many people as possible (political reason or national - doesn't matter). That's why I always say - we need to make "Nuremberg process" for Communism as well. We need to punish regimes with anti-humanitarian ideology, and Communism must be the first one to be punished!

Who told you that WEST don't know nothing about Gulag? Trust me, I am Westerner all my life, and I know a lot. As a fact of matter, Western, in general, knows much more about GULAG than most of the Russian citizens. And talking about experiments.... I think, no offense, that you were born for experiment - how to interbreed a pig with a monkey, cause the bullshit you say is only good for animals, not human beings;)

Jews staying in concetration work camps were treated like Hilton hotel guests comparing to Gulag brutality .

@napajedlacek: How about Jágoda or Jezhóv??? Kámjeñev, Zinóviev, Bukhárin?? They ALL were Jews, and all killed under Stáljin's orders!!! The same applies to Ljév Tróckiy (Trotsky), who was murdered in Mexico City with an ice-pick!!!

Solzhewnitsyn was in "SOviet slaughter camp" for 14 years, and died at more thn 90 years age, this show how Soviet camp are similar to Aschwitz. In the some time (until 1950 more or less) you can find sicilian kids that work in sulfur mines and died at early age. These are people that did hard job, I see it in real and also did it sometime. You can choise a more "dramatic" miusic ..

It is a fact that photos that have been proved to be of Gulag prisoners were displayed as Jewish holocaust victims and had to be removed from the Israeli Holocaust Museum.

...there are even FICTIONAL movies about the Jewish holocaust now, such as "The Reader" and "The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas" which is aimed specifically at children. Yet these children have no such information of the many, MANY more who died horrific deaths in the Gulag prisons.
Why is that???
There is a need not only to compare such unproportionate information they are giving us, but also to question why.
VoxInExcelso 2 years ago
I think it's important to compare and question the amount of information we receive about such atrocities - your word 'tragedies' just makes them sound like some unavoidable accidents, forgetting all the politics involved.
As you say, the deaths of 50 MILLION people are unknown in the West, yet the Jewish holocaust is taught in our schools, universities and there are countless Hollywood movies about it....

Thank you so much for posting this. There is very little information around on the Russian Holocaust. It's a disgrace that Solzhenitzyn and his work aren't more publicised in the West, and yet Hollywood churns out movie after movie about the plight of the Jews. Why is that? Twice as many died in the Gulags and the conditions and brutality were much worse.
The injustice of it is heart-breaking. The story of those poor, unfortunate people should never be forgotten.
VoxInExcelso 2 years ago
You're right. There is little nown about this in the West. But why the need to comare these terrible events. Just as if one tragedy would be less terrible for the victims.
(The same by the way in Cambodia)

You can find and order Solzhenitzyn bboks everywhere. May he isnt loved at past, may be because in ELtzin age he told that the present ("liberal democratic" Eltzin RUssia)
is worse than Stalin URSS.
sergiorgio2000 2 years ago
@sergiorgio2000: It should be mentioned that Solzhjeñícïn (Solzhenitsyn) didn't want 1) the kind of "robber-capitalism" (the worst kind possible) that happened to Russia under Borís Ñikolájevich Jélcïn (Jéltsyn), where the poor were forced to sell what belongings they had and become utterly destitute; 2) he didn't want the materialism being fostered in the West (as consumerism, hedonism, etc.) that in the end was linking up to a number of Communism's values. He wanted something more spiritual

Nowhere is perfect. It is a country through which a racial divide runs like a zip. It has a shockingly huge prison population. It is a country like any other where people will step on eachothers faces to climb the social, corporate or any other ladder. In short like any other it is very very far from being perfect. The US constitution was written on paper. Life is not lived on paper. Forget all the misty eyed stuff and wake up.

Yes we see the gulags in America and the pile of dead bodies.
You make the case on why its so important to get back to our government as intended.
batcivic 2 years ago
I mean that in spite of its shortcomings, the United States represents the best potentialities of human social interactions. It's clearly a work in progress, but the U.S. founded on principles that value the individual life. Gulags and concentration camps where people lives mean less than nothing are the antithesis of this. Individual life versus the collective "good" is at issue. Fascism and communism subordinated the individual life to the collective.

Its the opposite. Its a work in regress. The divide caused by the theft and enslaving the minority to the majority in socialist democracy instead of a democratic republic.
batcivic 2 years ago 2
if you mean the U.S. is becoming more socialist, I agree. As long as we still have the Constitution and Bill of Rights, there's still hope that things will get better. I'm still convinced that it's the freest country on earth and supports indivudal life and self-directed success and happiness more than any other place in existence. I wouldn't choose to live anywhere else.

I just got back from Ukraine and Slovenija. Its really interesting because they have no idea what capitalism really is. Like our children they have been indoctrinated into believing its greed instead of choice. Since the government only allows them a tiny bit of capitalism they are fooling the people and holding them under communism with a lie.
batcivic 2 years ago
The worst part it it destroys the fabric of culture. They are used to it and dont have living in America to compare it to. If our children are bron into it the will know nothing else.
And after the collapse the mafia gets so much stronger because there is no real free market. The government still controls everything
batcivic 2 years ago
I'm sorry to hear it. Government is supposed to protect it's citizens and provide a safe environment for a stable, free existence. Peaceful or violent revolution and the creation of a new political entity is the only way to transform such a mess. Complete overhaul is the only way sometimes. I hope people are allowed to own weapons there. I think this is pivotal to American self-reliance. If you are helpless to protect yourself and your property, you can easily be exploited and enslaved.
shakanunu 2 years ago
Definately, this is why crime does pay there.
The other interesting thing is how they will talk about things Americans would consider horrifing to not be able to do because of government as its "just like in America" You feel bad to say no really its not like that in America
