Lawmakers in Russia have announced plans to use prison labour to help drive down the cost of hosting the 2018 World Cup by forcing them to take jobs that ordinary Russians won't do.

Politician Alexander Khinshtein, from the ruling United Russia party, has said he is drawing up proposals which would see inmates taken to work in factories producing materials for the games.

Meanwhile Alexander Rudy, head of Russia's prison service, has said that he was keen to use prisoners for 'tasks that, let's say, wouldn't appeal to the ordinary citizen.'

I guess that if you’re a good carpenter, the likelihood of you committing a crime just skyrocketed.

The Soviets used slave labor to help build facilities for the Olympics; and to make their “Mischa the bear” stuffed toy.

So we had the peak of western physical health and perfection, competing in stadiums completed by emaciated slaves, and tourists buying souvenirs made by slaves (and, these slaves were condemned, often not for crimes, but for being refuseniks or believers in God).

It was my understanding that our first trade with China capitalized on prison and child labor.

Sorta makes ya want to break out in patriotic songes doesn’t it, just thinking of what we support with our purchase dollars.

It is typical of a traitorous propagandist to seek to compare the use of chain gangs by some states, to the horrors of the Russian system of working prisoners to death, and collecting political prisoners for that purpose.

You are one twisted soul.

back when I worked with the Soviets, you could go to hard labor camp for years just for owning/making an unregistered knife
I met some former prisoners - the only way I really knew was that they tend to tattoo their wrist with barbed wire (like a bracelet) unless that was done “for” them.
