The Soviet GULAG was worse than you thought
The Gulag was a major instrument of political repression in the Soviet Union.
The internment system grew rapidly, reaching a population of 1.5 million by the end of 1940. The consensus among scholars is that, of the 14 million prisoners who passed through Gulag camps , roughly 1.5 to 1.7 million perished there or died soon after their release.
