This just in: everybody misses the GULAG!

Some of you may know Eli from Russia.  She's an excellent vlogger with some really well done videos about Russia on YT.  Usually her vlogs are upbeat and fun to watch, but she also has one about the only preserved GULAG which happens to be near her home town of Perm.  It's also the GULAG where Alexander Solzhenitsyn was incarcerated.
 


Her motivation for the video was, as she says, "Lately Russian propaganda has been justifying the GULAG camps. On May 26, 2021 the largest news agency RIA Novosti published an article explaining that Stalin's labor camps were not so terrible anymore, but on the contrary, Stalin’s camps were useful for the citizens.

I've decided to make this video so that more people know what Gulag really is, learn its history and what life there was like.

Perm 36 is the only GULAG camp (Soviet union forced labor camp) that was preserved in Russia, and everything here is kept the way when the camp functioned. All the other camps were demolished after dissolution of the Soviet Union."

The Russian government has been working to memory-hole the gulags so that no one will miss what never happened.
