The gulag didn't happen.
And if it did, it wasn't that bad.
And if it was, that's not a big deal.
And if it is, that's not his fault.
And if it was, he didn't mean it.
And if he did, the victims deserved it.

    It obviously did happen. Most of the prisoners were common criminals, while 1/4–1/3 were political prisoners, like those who sided with and/or fought for Tsar Nicholas II.

    What didn’t happen was The Gulag Archipelago, a work of fiction by an anti-communist & anti-Semite[1][2].

    During the WWII Nazi invasion, the fatality rate was high, but still lower than in Tsarist Russia. And it wasn’t a life sentence for most. Most people served their term and were released, like almost any other prison system.

    The system ended in 1960, while forced prison labor is still enshrined in the US constitution and still happening today.

    I encourage you to go to Russia and check yourself, maybe ask a few Russians. Hopefully you end up on the frontline pretty fast and stop posting shit like this.

    Or at least maybe go to some post-soviet country and ask the elderly how great it was under the communism. Those who survived it of course.

    You mean the elders that to a huge portion miss the USSR, because they found out that the West fucked them over with their propaganda and now they have no healthcare or housing? Sure.
