Soviet Gulag

RU14, 1930s, W/out sound. Propaganda film about the construction of the BAM railway (Baikal-Amur Mainline), 1937. Hard labour camp / gulag in Siberia : huts in forest (tents), in winter, taiga, snow. The Siberian Russian forest in summer, lumbermen cutting trees, vs woodcutters (gulag workers, zeks) at work, men carrying wood logs, iron bars, sleepers, building railroad tracks, train passing on new tracks. Roadworks : prisoners filling and pushing carts and wheelbarrows w/ earth, working in water, on colliery railroads, vs CU men digging, shovels, drill. Lunchtime for the BAM railway workers, vs gulag prisoners eating. Rations of rye bread. Zeks eat soup. Pan faces. MCU teapots, someone helps himself to a cup of tea. Billboard w/ the objectives for each brigade of the BAM railway : competitiveness, socialist emulation in labour camps among teams of gulag workers. CU faces.

I think we need the gulag in amerika for the politicians; bankers, and the police criminals...

many of romanian soldiers and civilians from Basarabia area (Moldova) died in that types of gulags and concentration camps. The big problem is that entire world scream about german holocaust but doesn't say anything about soviet genocide in Siberia! That's because they were on the part of winners and nowbody dare to take attitude against Russia. And of course..jewish propaganda is better known in mass-media

This is exactly what needs to happen in Americas prisons rather than turning it into a three hots cots, tv, slap on the wrist type of pusnishment while getting a PhD in crime.

@onceANexile If you help us Occupy Wall street protesters, then it might happen.

@1RealityBroadcasting Stalin was recently voted the top third greatest Russian in all of Russian history. I'm pretty sure Stalin didn't transcend from the dead to threaten the living into submission.

To which asshole are you referring? As for comparing Soviet gulags to U.S. prisons, far more inmates than zeks survive. Many gulags had zeks just as violent as in some U.S. prisons. Living conditions in gulags were horrendous. You either froze to death, died of diseases like scurvy, pellagra & TB, or were murdered by a guard or one of your fellow zeks. Vladimir Horowitz's father died in a gulag

I have no idea of what you are talking about for the most part. Please write again when you sober up.
