what does this image even have to do with gulags
Well it has, like, winter and gloomy people and cutting wood and black and white STOP THINKING ALREADY JUST BE SCARED
Winter = cold and cold = Russia and Russia = siberia and siberia = le goolag
Are people starting to wake up against the bullshit ? This is amazing! Wonder how would the publisher reaction to that massive downvotes
A little note on the phrasing:
-
as typical, the use of “GULAG” as synonymous with “labour camp”. Makes it sound more ominous and spooky and foreign. You never see this used with “Auschwitz” or “Guantanamo”. Meanwhile, the word “GULAG” is short for “Glavnoye Upravleniye LAGerey” - “main control of camps”. Aka the government body overseeing the prisons, not the prisons themselves.
-
the usage of “Russian” instead of “Soviet” is also purposefully misleading and purposefully insidious. It continues the trend of presenting the USSR as a “Russian imperialism” project, as well as equating modern capitalist Russian federation with the USSR.

All those thumbs down 🤤😁
