This was great — thanks for posting.
Watched all 3 episodes. Not bad. No commentating by those who served as guards or anyone who still loved their country. It was 100% victims. I started feeling it wasn’t such a bad idea. Got the troublemakers out of the way-real and imagined. Is Russia much better now? They support Putin in Ukraine. Mentality is still the same. They need to bleed more.
In the early 1990’s, I had the (not serious) idea of paying Russia to keep about a million of the USA’s hardened criminals in their underused GULAG space. Paying them $1500 per year per head would save us about $50k each, the Russkies could extract some work out of them, and most would never come back. Family members might complain... Now we could supply Ukraine with criminals to pit against Russia’s.
*“The Gulag Archipelago” . It should be required reading in high school.* I don’t think so. Reading is too long and dry.
*The Great Terror by Robert Conquest* The subject is too deep for Most readers to commit to-500+ pages.
*Anne Applebaums-The Gulag* I read half of it. The theme was Russians wanting to put it behind them. Started out with the canal that didn’t work.
*Ivan Denisovich*-shorter.
