“What a creepy sentiment; his Gulag Archipelago is a must-read. Some of the SA executed on the Night of Long Knives in Germany shouted Heil Hitler as they were shot...”
A superb companion book to “Gulag Archipelago” is “Coming out of the Ice” by Victor Herman.
It is a great look from an individual perspective to complement the overview of “Gulag”.

Thanks; I’d like to take a look at that when I get a chance.
