Back in the 1970s I worked with a German colleague who had been imprisoned in the Gulag system from 1945 through 1953, I lent him the book "One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisonovich" by Alexander Solzhenitsyn, when he returned the book his comment was " Every word in that book is true". R I P Herman Ziegler.
This is what Russians are in the video, 5 sentence to death for fictional crimes, everyone clapping. And they thump down bs how hitler was evil for decades to you ... tragicomedy....
Solzhenitsyn is fucking propagandist, his fake books was sending to West and published by CIA! In prison he was not for politics, he was criminal prisoner! His books are so bed written, with bed language! In prison he was working for administration like a snitch and provocateur!!! And GULAG (ГУЛАГ) it's nothing more than The General Directorate of Camps (prisons)!!!

Grandpa was a cobbler in Columbus Ohio. These stories of our history of survival are REAL!!! I want to research and write. It gives me great sorrow over the suffering of my ansesters

Good observation. USA and England enabled not only Stalin victory in WW2 but also the multiple millions of rapes at the end of the war. At least 2 million German women and children alone were brutally gang raped, some 60-70 times, ages 8-80. This can be found even on Google. Poland and Baltics as well, surviving men taken to Gulags.
A lot of archives about all these events stayed locked under secrecy status under the soviet regime. With its collapse, historians have been able to study those starting the turn of the century, and a few archives have only been declassified in 2018. It explains that.
@@SLICE_Full_DocHolodomor was known for 90 years and nobody cared about it. katyn massacre was know for tens of years and nobody cared about it. gulags was know for hundred years and nobody cared about because rotten west was happy with ruSSofascist regime!
It is funny when you talk about a Gulag and you realize that in a dictatorship where there were political prisoners, it was fewer people in prison than in the rich, modern, democratic USA. 20 million prisoners in 18 years. In the US prisons are 1,2 million prisoners every year and thousands of people are killed by police on the streets. 51 army veterans commit suicide every day. Instead, of truth we judge history without knowing anything about those people and what they did. Don't forget the situation in Russia. Tsar was killed by Jewish Communists and they installed their own government. Yes, communism was a product of Swiss Jew bankers. Same people who lent money to Hitler. Something is fishy about it. And don't forget the fact that Communist opponents were Nazzis.
@@defcreator187 I'm a bad guy, correct. But I don't try to destroy the whole world on a fake assumption that everyone who's performing better than the US is a *threat*.

Besides the " Gulag Archipelago" another impactful book on this subject is Irina Ratushkinkaya's " Grey is the Color of Hope." This wasn't written in the 30s, 40s, or 50s... But the 1980s! By a woman!
Isn’t it about time the Gulag was given the publicity it deserves? Isn’t it about time the BBC, PBS America, and Channel 4, for instance, started informing the public of this monumental crime against humanity perpetrated by Communist Russia?
@@thegooglearchipelago8253 agreed, however it is a geopolitical issue. It is still happening in the nooks and crannies of the vastness of the Imperium, Navalny anybody?
You cannot blame the Russians for communism. It was the intellectual Jews that kicked off Bolshevism. Take note that Putin has regularly denounced the communist repression and atheism of the Bolshevik system. Note how the Bolsheviks absolutely hated the Orthodox Church ☦️ and any Christians
yes i agree the gulag must be published alongside with the french and british gulags , idk why but almost no one knows that the same amount of people died in the construction of the panama canal as of the volga canal
Not all people are equal. And the gulag is the logical consequence of trying to build an utopia that defies this fact. When you want to make everyone equal, sooner or later you will have to use force.
I am Russian and was born in Samara in 1960. The only "utopia" in Russia was for cockroaches and thieves. We had little food. Our flat was in constant disrepair. We had no clean water and were forced to share bathroom with an almost 6 other families. Alcohol over use was very common and I knew three mens who died from pancreas problems from alcohol. All men in Russia seem to die from this. Not liver problem from Alcohol. Pancreatic problems from Alcohol. I've been in America since 1994 and I've never known a person to die from pancreatitis. In Russia, it was very common. And that was in 1970s and 1980s! Only 45 years ago!

Dont equate the soviet style of communism/socialism with all communist movements. In fact, other communists socialists and assorted "leftist" radicals were some if the first and most persecuted groupsby the bolsheviks and maoists. There have been many positive and effective examples of what coukd be defined as communism throughout history, not least of which was the early christian church. But yes you are still right. Communism without a healthy spiritual perspective is a recipe for injustice. "Vengeance is mine" says the Lord. Man trying to take justice into his own hands often leads to injustice
Hiroshima, Moulin rouge, Pinochet, abuse of children in schools, depravity, to genocide in Gaza, Rwanda and the list goes on ,to all those advocating democracy, take note
And it doesn't stop. Still the same problems, the same lunatics in charge. What does it tell us? That it won't change. Ever. Something seriously radical needs 2 happen 2 change the way the human race acts. I for 1 can't wait 2 see that change. Even if it would cost me my life, I want the world 2 be so different. The way people act towards each other, the way governments act, it makes me sick. Greed and selfishness, power hungry madmen, psychopathic leaders. I mean what the living hell is going on? Who out there thinks the world is in harmony? With each other and with mother Earth? Yea exactly. Nobody.
Unfortunately it is not o ly the US that does this. All of recorded human history shows that those in power often abuse it via cruelty, torture, and death to all who oppose them including their own people and Allie’s. The US definitely has history of offense, but we came out in defense during WWII. Everything after that was political which does not make it right for those that paid the ultimate price with their lives.
@@Chainsaw-ASMR Just what it says: "Documentary: GULAG, THE STORY - Episode 1: From experimentation to setting up the forced labour system (1918-1936) Directed by: Patrick Rotman Production: KUIV Productions pour ARTE France"
So many mentioned that compared to Vladimir Lenin that Joseph Stalin was a teddy bear, but I don’t believe that at all, and I think that death of Stalin was much worse but it’s just that Vladimir Lenin was a revolutionary and less of a statesman. Joseph Stalin was a little bit more statesman, like even though he was a thug. All of those Bolsheviks were brutes

Russia has and treats their citizen like crap, disgusting. My family is from Lithuania and they lived under Russia regime, disgusting, horrific but they luckily excaped to Germany in the early 1900..the stories are are heart wrenching
Very important topic. On a side note I find it funny how people will equate socialism and communism full stop and seem to claim this would only happen under those systems. I would remind them that the capitalist US has no problems supporting these level of crimes in Israel.
Socialism is just an intermediate step toward communism, according to Marx. What is funny is your attempts to pretend they're totally different........Israel has never committed crimes that are remotely in the same ballpark as the Soviet Union, so you're pretty hilarious all around.
@@JK-br1mu ohhh Yes they have. Lets just mention a few... bombing hospitals and residential buildings, bombing aid convoys, possibly blowing up personal communication equipment, occupying territory illigaly, the use of human shields. Just because the crimes arent the same does not mean they don't rise to the level of crimes as the soviets. There are also countries among the happiest in the world that have either socialist policiys, or socialist elements in how they deal with work or health.

It's a great book, but unfortunately it is not true. Slavomir Rawicz (the author) didn't escape the Gulag, he was lying, which should be evident by his description of watching a family of Yetis in the Himalayas. It's a fantastic story, but it's fiction.

They've forgotten they collaborated with the Nazis. They've forgotten their gleeful pogroms of the Jews. They've forgotten the 14th SS Battalion Galician was almost entirely Ukrainian. They've forgotten Ukrainians made up the vast majority of non-German Death Camp guards. They've forgotten the eager crowds turning over Jews & attending the massacres at Babi Yar. They've forgotten the Ukrainians who rushed to join the Einsatzgruppen. They've got a long history of "forgetting". Hell, they've even forgotten the AZOV battalion fighting today are mobilized ultra-violent Neo-Nazis who were murdering ethnic Russians in the disputed provinces while the Ukrainian govt looked away. Edit: Just in passing... Stalin was a Georgian not a Russian. The Soviet Union was a polyglot, multicultural combination of states. There's never been a Georgian leader of Russia..
Not much different to Australia back then. In 1918 there were 10 concentration camps for people of German or Austrian background and those of other ethnicities who lived in the Austrian Hungarian Empire. The British were sending people from all over Asia (ex German colonies) to those camps. Even those who were born in Australia and had German parents. The conditions were awful. Norwegian and Swiss ambassadors tried to intervene on few occassions. The British-Australian soldiers treated these prisoners as bad as the Aboriginals. Bayonetting was common, stealing from them too, raping etc. One could write a letter - but only in the English language. Most were never sent though. You won't find any memorials in those places today commemorating the victims. No trace is left.
None of the facts you've pointed out are correct, just a word sandwich of twisted facts turned into non-fiction nonsense. Reported as such. Have a nice day. Cioa.
@@Nedskiee the largest was in Holsworthy near Liverpool (Sydney). Berrima and Trial Bay NSW, Torrens Island SA, Fyshwick ACT, Rottnest Island WA. In total 10. during WW2 there were 18 concentration camps across Australia.
Adding to my previous comments(see above), in the West, additionally to the items mentioned previously, in my experience in mining, tunnelling, oil rigs, heated, airconditioned free rooms are provided for jobs in far- off places. Also, free food, various, of good quality is provided, as much as one can eat. When these items, in addition to those mentioned in the other comments section are in place, then people can work without becoming sick, on a good wage, and survive normally whilst doing the construction, etc., for a few years.
32:30 I have a serious question about this if anyone can answer and not be a smart ass thanks: Why was there a famine when they now have better equipment, they say their happy, and a large portion of the population is forced to farm? How can you turn all that positive energy to famine..?
I'm not an expert but I think all the food was for government workers and not for the common person. There was also a time when it was forbidden to grow food for themselves.
Get a job in Government. You'll find out that doing the job is secondary to people's power, egos, and political b.s. Why do you think our Governments are failing?? Exactly the same reasons.
Solzhenitsyn said a small boy told Gorky as he was leaving that everything he’d seen was fake. As his boat left, the boy was already being taken away to be shot.
Around 1968 a russian prisoner Anatolij Marchenko wrote a book about russian prison system - he wrote that Gulag was just renamed, but the way the system worked, was basically still the same. The book was smuggled to the west which was accepting USSR somehow and did not want to believe that nothing much changed in communist system. And it is still the same - bad news are usually refused, nobody wants to hear them. Same happened to UN when they visited nazi camps and many times since then. Around 2007 I believed too that Russia slowly changes to become a modern intelligent country. How naive mistake!
Horrible times, thankful for the excellent documentary. I'm amazed at the quality of the film in comparison to some old Hollywood films of the same era that are so blurry they can barely be viewed.
Then how are you different from what those communists who did those horrible things in my country that documentary show? No matter how much you don’t like your political opponents, if you wish them to be in that camp, you are as evil as those who created those camps.
It was their own choice for the reign of terror but no one found any profit of it, honesty is more important. So much is still left in this documentary like the pogroms after the extinction of the traveling gypsy. Germany followed adopting the same methodical system. Still the people of this world are like that prepared to lie out of shame loosing their name, it was all a word game. This world has all the potential to a better future and still they make war while the history is not to visit.
Kruschev and others feared to talk. They condemned Stalin the dead. When someone heckled him. He roared ' Who said that' total silence. Kruscheve then said . That is why we dared not oppose Stalin. 48 rules of power. The name and God of this system of things is called FEAR OF DEATH.
What a coincidence, Exactly in 1938, France released the last German prisoner of war. After 20 years. The last of 6 million Germans who were unjustly forced to perform forced labor in France
My mother here in Canada described to me once a true story her grandmother told her once about how a relative of hers living in Germany who at first soon after the second world war was declared over failed to recognize her own son who had almost starved to death in a Russian concentration camp during the second world war. The second world war he survived only because it had been declared over before he starved to death while continuing to do his best to remain a consctientious objector while so many governments around were always relying on conscription of peasants into the military most to save the day. He survived by eating garbage. His favorite garbage to eat was potato peelings gained by peeling potatoes for the Russina instead officers there.
Just an aside but WHY oh WHY oh WHY .... are all history documentaries nowadays narrated in the present tense???? WHY??? It's ludicrous and does not make the information presented any more exciting or interesting. Btw I recommend Anne Applebaum's book on the Gulag. It's absolutely excellent.
This shows me that if Hitler never went farther than Poland and those little countries, and didnt mess with France or GB, hed probably be ruling until he grew old. But he went to hard, to where even Russia was like "na not today fam".
Great Documentary. What I never understood is why all these people shipped to the Gulags where not deleted and disposed of when they arrived in Siberia. That would have been easy to handle and cost effective.
Considering that we have more people in prison per capita and sheer numbers than any other nation on earth, I'd say we're well on our way. Land of the free??
There's a Polish woman's story here on RUclips. Her father was a Mayor and was disappeared by the Soviets. Her and her mother were taken to Siberia where people were put on boats and the boats machinegunned. They escaped with the help of a Soviet soldier because she called him Daddy. 😢
This ,reporters are getting snatched left and right ,and jailed in their own homes with a high possibility to be send to prison and do a minimum of 5 years with no possibility to defend yourself legally
My grandgrandpa had been in GULAG. He was released 1 month before his dead. He was extremely weak after hard exportation works, food avoid of vitamin, stress and very poor material conditions. Bolsheviks left 8 his kids for starvation
At list six hundred years before the revolution, the monasteries in Russia served also as prisons. @2:08 The prison on the Sovetesky island wasn't the idea of the Bolsheviks, it was established in 15-th century, at the same time when the monastery was build. Ivan Terrible would set to that monastery prison, some of his lucky opponents.
The map at 34:47 is wrong, Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania were independent states then and Finish Karelia wasn't occupied by the USSR either till 1941 until the Soviets did the Hitler-Stalin pact.
Well made documentary. The map of the USSR is wrong however, seems to only include Russia. And the mention in passing that five million people were starved to death, as if by accident, mostly in Ukraine, and then to move on is kinda weird.
Its not so bad there now days, but of course you dont understand anything listening to your west propaganda. All country's have done very bad things in the past.
I understand but I think the buildings in Moscow are beautiful and they are saying that, but I wouldn’t visit there because there’s an American I would definitely be arrested just for being American. Some Americans who moved over there years ago have RUclips channels like some people who live in communist China and they talk about how nice it is yada yada but I would never ever ever go anywhere near Communist, China and if I had to choose between the two, I would at least visit Russia just to see Moscow but I would never ever ever dare go anywhere near China because those people hate Americans and they’re extremely racist and to the point they think nearly all white people that go to China are Americans and they will spit on them. It depends on the location, but the people who live out in the country and the farmers are super nice people and they’ve never seen a foreigner and they love to meet people from different areas because there in three with people who are white and black Middle Eastern and they always want to take a selfie photo with people. Those only are probably about 400 million in China and the other billion live in the city and it just depends on where they live.

At least 2 million German women and children alone were brutally gang raped, some 60-70 times, ages 8-80. This can be found even on Google. Poland and Baltics as well, surviving men taken to Gulags.
A lot of archives about all these events stayed locked under secrecy status under the soviet regime. With its collapse, historians have been able to study those starting the turn of the century, and a few archives have only been declassified in 2018. It explains that.

Yes.
You think your life's hard until you see how Brutal they poor souls were worked no wonder many prayed for death 💔
It is funny when you talk about a Gulag and you realize that in a dictatorship where there were political prisoners, it was fewer people in prison than in the rich, modern, democratic USA.
20 million prisoners in 18 years. In the US prisons are 1,2 million prisoners every year and thousands of people are killed by police on the streets. 51 army veterans commit suicide every day.
Instead, of truth we judge history without knowing anything about those people and what they did.
Don't forget the situation in Russia. Tsar was killed by Jewish Communists and they installed their own government.
Yes, communism was a product of Swiss Jew bankers. Same people who lent money to Hitler.
Something is fishy about it.
And don't forget the fact that Communist opponents were Nazzis.
Evil can only exist when good people do nothing.

You cannot blame the Russians for communism. It was the intellectual Jews that kicked off Bolshevism. Take note that Putin has regularly denounced the communist repression and atheism of the Bolshevik system.
Note how the Bolsheviks absolutely hated the Orthodox Church ☦️ and any Christians
yes i agree the gulag must be published alongside with the french and british gulags , idk why but almost no one knows that the same amount of people died in the construction of the panama canal as of the volga canal
Our media are Communists
Not all people are equal. And the gulag is the logical consequence of trying to build an utopia that defies this fact. When you want to make everyone equal, sooner or later you will have to use force.
😂😂
I am Russian and was born in Samara in 1960. The only "utopia" in Russia was for cockroaches and thieves. We had little food. Our flat was in constant disrepair. We had no clean water and were forced to share bathroom with an almost 6 other families. Alcohol over use was very common and I knew three mens who died from pancreas problems from alcohol. All men in Russia seem to die from this. Not liver problem from Alcohol. Pancreatic problems from Alcohol. I've been in America since 1994 and I've never known a person to die from pancreatitis. In Russia, it was very common. And that was in 1970s and 1980s! Only 45 years ago!

Bruh socialism is a necessary opposite. Communism is a cruel system.
Dont equate the soviet style of communism/socialism with all communist movements. In fact, other communists socialists and assorted "leftist" radicals were some if the first and most persecuted groupsby the bolsheviks and maoists. There have been many positive and effective examples of what coukd be defined as communism throughout history, not least of which was the early christian church.
But yes you are still right. Communism without a healthy spiritual perspective is a recipe for injustice. "Vengeance is mine" says the Lord. Man trying to take justice into his own hands often leads to injustice
Hiroshima, Moulin rouge, Pinochet, abuse of children in schools, depravity, to genocide in Gaza, Rwanda and the list goes on ,to all those advocating democracy, take note
*We like to pretend this isnt going on today in multiple camps across North Korea lol.. It's on google maps for crying out loud*
So sad to see the atrocious things we humans do to each other.
Power drunk individuals ..power ,greed, vileness.all,the qualifications they need to enforce their regime.
And it doesn't stop. Still the same problems, the same lunatics in charge. What does it tell us? That it won't change. Ever. Something seriously radical needs 2 happen 2 change the way the human race acts. I for 1 can't wait 2 see that change. Even if it would cost me my life, I want the world 2 be so different. The way people act towards each other, the way governments act, it makes me sick. Greed and selfishness, power hungry madmen, psychopathic leaders. I mean what the living hell is going on? Who out there thinks the world is in harmony? With each other and with mother Earth? Yea exactly. Nobody.
Governments do to their people
mayby that is why the US is in war for 250y?
Unfortunately it is not o ly the US that does this. All of recorded human history shows that those in power often abuse it via cruelty, torture, and death to all who oppose them including their own people and Allie’s. The US definitely has history of offense, but we came out in defense during WWII. Everything after that was political which does not make it right for those that paid the ultimate price with their lives.

True. Some have no sense of reality or relativity.

Lets just mention a few... bombing hospitals and residential buildings, bombing aid convoys, possibly blowing up personal communication equipment, occupying territory illigaly, the use of human shields.

There are also countries among the happiest in the world that have either socialist policiys, or socialist elements in how they deal with work or health.

It's a great book, but unfortunately it is not true. Slavomir Rawicz (the author) didn't escape the Gulag, he was lying, which should be evident by his description of watching a family of Yetis in the Himalayas. It's a fantastic story, but it's fiction.

They've forgotten they collaborated with the Nazis. They've forgotten their gleeful pogroms of the Jews. They've forgotten the 14th SS Battalion Galician was almost entirely Ukrainian. They've forgotten Ukrainians made up the vast majority of non-German Death Camp guards. They've forgotten the eager crowds turning over Jews & attending the massacres at Babi Yar. They've forgotten the Ukrainians who rushed to join the Einsatzgruppen.
They've got a long history of "forgetting". Hell, they've even forgotten the AZOV battalion fighting today are mobilized ultra-violent Neo-Nazis who were murdering ethnic Russians in the disputed provinces while the Ukrainian govt looked away.
Edit: Just in passing... Stalin was a Georgian not a Russian. The Soviet Union was a polyglot, multicultural combination of states. There's never been a Georgian leader of Russia..
Not much different to Australia back then. In 1918 there were 10 concentration camps for people of German or Austrian background and those of other ethnicities who lived in the Austrian Hungarian Empire. The British were sending people from all over Asia (ex German colonies) to those camps. Even those who were born in Australia and had German parents. The conditions were awful. Norwegian and Swiss ambassadors tried to intervene on few occassions. The British-Australian soldiers treated these prisoners as bad as the Aboriginals. Bayonetting was common, stealing from them too, raping etc. One could write a letter - but only in the English language. Most were never sent though. You won't find any memorials in those places today commemorating the victims. No trace is left.

Adding to my previous comments(see above), in the West, additionally to the items mentioned previously, in my experience in mining, tunnelling, oil rigs, heated, airconditioned free rooms are provided for jobs in far- off places. Also, free food, various, of good quality is provided, as much as one can eat. When these items, in addition to those mentioned in the other comments section are in place, then people can work without becoming sick, on a good wage, and survive normally whilst doing the construction, etc., for a few years.

I'm not an expert but I think all the food was for government workers and not for the common person. There was also a time when it was forbidden to grow food for themselves.

Around 1968 a russian prisoner Anatolij Marchenko wrote a book about russian prison system - he wrote that Gulag was just renamed, but the way the system worked, was basically still the same. The book was smuggled to the west which was accepting USSR somehow and did not want to believe that nothing much changed in communist system. And it is still the same - bad news are usually refused, nobody wants to hear them. Same happened to UN when they visited nazi camps and many times since then.
Around 2007 I believed too that Russia slowly changes to become a modern intelligent country. How naive mistake!

The second world war he survived only because it had been declared over before he starved to death while continuing to do his best to remain a consctientious objector while so many governments around were always relying on conscription of peasants into the military most to save the day. He survived by eating garbage. His favorite garbage to eat was potato peelings gained by peeling potatoes for the Russina instead officers there.
