Days and Lives takes you inside the brutal system of forced labor concentration camps and the internal exile institution called the Gulag. Soviet authorities found the Gulag to be a useful tool in neutralizing, and often physically destroying, all real or imagined opposition to the Communist Party's dictatorship beginning in 1917. Since it also served as the main Soviet penal system, political prisoners were imprisoned with violent criminals. In the Stalin era, some 18 million people passed through the prisons and camps of the Gulag, and perhaps another 6 or 7 million were sent into exile. More than one and a half million prisoners died in the Gulag at the hands of their government. Even those who survived struggled to rebuild their lives when they were finally released.

  • @gutenberg80 Terrorist nation?? Communism aint Terrorism. idiot and it belongs to the History. go fuck your self idiot

  • Russia is the GREATEST terrorist nation in the world

  • Most of these authoritarian regimes only operated under the veil of communism. They were highly immoral, inhumane, and unethical, and had abandoned communist & socialist principles not long after revolution. Nevertheless, the crimes of Stalin should not be forgotten, and it disgusts me that none of these Soviet thugs were ever trialed or convicted for their crimes against humanity.

  • @MrJustsomerandomguy Soviet union and russia is almost the same thing .
