Isn’t the same exact thing going on in America when school districts stop teaching US history and civics and instead play at being “change agents” to indoctrinate children into being good little socialists?

Alexander Dolgun's story: An American in the Gulag

A terrific read. Alexander Dolgun, from embassy employee, to prisoner, then falsely convicted of being a terrorist against Russia and sentenced to hard labor. Released after eight long years he is finally able to recount the experience of being transported to and between prisons, interactions and friendships with other prisoners, the day to day drudgery of trying to stay alive under horrendous conditions which involved trying to meet ridiculously high work quotas for extremely strenuous jobs while in a constant state of starvation and often, sickness.

They are doing this to support the American Democratic Party. You say what. Aren’t botnet the ones that want criminal action against climate change deniers. What will be next gun owners, Jay walkers etc...

Destroying history is never a good thing...

[redfreedom]

It happens in other countries besides Russia when certain files might embarrass someone. Such as when CIA director Helms destroyed thousands of MKUltra records making the Rockefeller commission all but useless.

It’s a good thing our intelligence agencies have not gone rogue since then. /s/

My favorite book is The Gulag Archipelago. I was introduced to Aleksandr Solzhenitsin in college with the Book A day in the Life of Ivan Denisovitch. I read the complete Gulag volumes, and would describe them to anyone unfamiliar with them as Lyrical Horror.

> “But when there’s no document, you can make up anything you want,” he warned.

Such as this story itself. A report of a report of a report... with no document.

[McGruff]

At this point what difference does it make?

[aimhigh]

I read one book that claimed American servicemen declared MIA in Vietnam were shipped to work in the Russian Gulags.

I'm not surprised. Russia refuses to acknowledge that Stalin was worse than Hitler, and they'll do anything to preserve the lie.

For the left, the lie is the master.

An estimated 3-12 million victims of Soviet repression were imprisoned in the gulag network of prisons and forced labor camps in the former Soviet Union.

That number is already too small by tens of millions. Not all of the 40 or more millions slaughtered by order of Stalin died in the gulag; OTOH, the gulag was used to recruit "volunteers" during the early phases of WWII. Sergei Korolev, one of their great aerospace leaders in the postwar period, was in prison when the Third Reich invaded.

Thanks CondoleezzaProtege.

Modern history ping.

Happens in the US, too. Hillary’s Bleach Bit, Imran Awan’s server is missing.
