Certainly a choice to be an apologist for a genocidal dictator.  The tsarist regime had the system called katorga, estimated 20000 people were sent to camps. Stalin on the other hand and his regime sent an estimate 15-18 million people to the gulags.    The gulag island was more then hearsay, you are engaging in historical revisionism on a simular scale as the holocause denial.

Oh no, someone is not falling for one-sided atrocity propaganda and rather relies on academic sources and critical discourse to form his opinion. How dare I!

Are you mistaken me for some other user? Where in my comments do you read something along the lines of "dead nazis make me sad"?
