A Visit to Soviet-era Concentration Camps "The Search for My Father" by Jon Utley

the North K. on average are smaller than the S. K. They are so malnourished. I think if a prominent country declared war on NK gov't they would have a following from the citizens. Maybe not all, but some, due to fear of familial brutality

omg this is a prelude to the camps in america,
ill get my say in,
obama you are a new stalin

Thanks for a very interesting posting.I think it's a tragedy that the history of Stalins concentration camps have been hushed up.They should be taught about in school like the nazi holocaust is.
I was watching bbc news last week and there was a piece about how Stalin now is being taught of as a great statesman and patriot in Russian schools.Which in my opinion is obscene

I dont think its that bad how you say it is in Russa now. You can see reports on Russia Today RT news about Stalins death camps. The government in Russia still has alot of power controling the media and they let a Russian media talk about the Gulags, im sure all Russians know about their history well.

His last words were a warning and a prediction: "...we're not immune to all those things."

i think America/Western World has been and still is afraid to confront Soviet Union/Russia

Afraid of what???? As long as I remember the REDcommunist were the ones turning around their ships during the Cuban crisis in the 60`s, soooo who was afraid, the RED COMMUNIST SCUM, they run like the cowards they are, COMMUNISM ARE ONLY BRAVE WHEN THEY ARE KILLING INNOCENT POOR PEOPLE like they did in URSS, Eastern europe, China, Viet Nam,Korea, CUBA, the list has no end.

They don't tell you the truth. The Soviets turned ships around because they got what they wanted. US deployed nukes in Turkey, right on USSRs border so to say. Soviets found out and matched it with a Cuban deployment. US learned about it and went ballistic and completely unreasonable about it. In reality, in order to resolve, USG signed a secret agreement where both countries were obliged to remove their respective nukes. It's declassified now, and Encarta,.. would say that US removed nukes too.

The purpose of the Foundation for the Investigation of Communist Crimes is to diffuse knowledge and increase international understanding of the crimes against humanity committed by violent communist regimes across the globe in different times. The goal of the Foundation is to dismiss once and for all a shockingly common and ubiquitous illusion that any semi-good violent regimes yet based on the violation of human rights, torture and constant threat on life ever existed or could exist.

Then you should love a good gulag
