I know what you are saying isn’t true, because I actually travelled to Russia last summer for the 100th anniversary of the killing of Tsar nicholas II.
I also went to the first Russian gulag up north...
But you already established you don’t know what you are talking about and are willing to throw around wild accusations
Too many young people — not just in Russia, but around the world — do not know basic Gulag history, and it is Russia’s disservice to the world to downplay this dimension of their history. There are so many lessons that must be learned.
Think of all the millenial socialists here in America who think Stalin and Lenin were not that bad. Or ‘not as bad as Hitler.’ People to this day can even visit Lenin’s body at his mausoleum in Moscow.
It is my understanding that museums on the sites of actual Gulag camps are few and far between, and the few that exist are heavily monitored by the government. The narratives are adjusted to ultimately praise Russia’s war effort. Some even saying the Gulag system was necessary to defeat Hitler.
