Someone has filled your head with propaganda.

The gulags were the just the name of their prison system and most of them were actually west of the Caucasus.

Oh, and America now imprisons more people (by numbers and per capita) than the USSR ever did.

    You are at beast don't know what you're talking about. Иисправительно-трудовые лагерея (ЛАГ in GULAG) are specifically, namely, explicitly concentration camps that used forced labour to kill people. It's very distinct from the regular prison system, which used inhuman conditions to kill people at lower rates.
