Modern russia's economy is built on the bones of millions of innocent people sent to build Magadan, Norilsk and others by 'fearless leader genius Stalin.'

Perhaps Medvedev and mentor Putin should inform themselves of this fact before trying to rehabilitate Stalin's image and re-structuring Russia to his standards.

Russia is more developed and has a longer tradition.

The current leaders of Russia are making the country step back, not 1 or 2, but thousands!

Criminals were imprisioned in Gulags, which prision camps. Differently from the US camps, they did not worked with iron balls at their feet and had medic treatment.

Those who were imprisioned in Gulags are today the new oligarchs and mafiosi of Russia!

Around 90% of informations on Soviet camps is pure propaganda, and it´s an absurd that Medveded praises such criminals.
