The Soviet Gulag prison system was set up in the 1920's by the ruling communist party.
Soviet Gulags were forced labour camps.
They held prisoners in harsh living conditions, where any treatment expected was to be extreme and inhumane.

Hi
THANK YOU!!
Very interesting
damn I wanted to comment it
Ok
I heard an American prisoner escaped on a bike with a lever action shotgun
Same I heard that story but don’t remember where it’s from
Yeah I heard that somewhere as well
Didn’t he and another guy escape as well?
Was that the guy who was found on The train?
@@MCL003 Yeah but I think he was killed by the guards, Or he was in Hue City I’m not sure, I’m hearing numbers all of a sudden
You can see in some scenes that Reznov and Sergei are in the background.

My grandpa was 24 when he was taken to one of these gulags. He had to stay there for more than 3 years. He never talked about what happened there. Always when we asked him about it he started to lose tears and said "I can't talk about it". Horrible thing must have happened over there.

If anyone wants a true glimpse into the life in the gulags, read "Man is Wolf to Man". For a glimpse into life as a survivor, read the sequel titled "Surviving Freedom".
The first book accounts for what many gulag prisoners endured, which was starting in the lower security camps and hopping camps eastward, all the way to Kolyma. The system was set so that labor could be exploited at every stage of denigration of the human body for those that were sentenced. All to the point of self-expiration by being overworked if they weren't already purged by the NKVD or fellow prisoners along the way.
One particular issue the author (Janusz Bardach) discusses is witnessing how prisoners getting diarrhea from poor nutrition often died from the cold. This is because the prisoners were stacked upon one another in shacks. If you had soiled your clothes and another prisoner had your butt in their face, they would throw you out into the cold to freeze to death, simply because the smell prevented them from getting any sleep. Many prisoners upon being reaching close to death due to being overworked, would reach a point of no longer caring about dignity. Retaining your dignity at all costs (not ripping one in your pants during morning lineup) kept you alive. The author made it a point to never resort to eating rats because he felt it would cause a loss of his dignity and humanity. Because he observed that once prisoners resorted to eating rats they would all end up dying relatively soon. Even though they had attained additional sustenance. Survival as always, is just as much about the mind if not more so than the body.
Janusz also describes a scene where after attempting escape, he was rounded up and beaten by a guard and an officer. Once the officer left the room, the guard immediately became compassionate and stopped beating Janusz and even offering water. The guard had to snap back into "beating mode" once the officer returned, resuming the flurry of blows and non-stop insults. The point being that compassion would rise to the surface even in the hearts of the guards, but was suppressed simply due to fear of repercussions. If a guard was seen as lenient at any time, it could cost them their job or their lives, by them being interned into a gulag themselves.
As in today's prisons, the guards would work hand-in-hand with ringleaders of the gulag. Often times these would be the Urka, or Russian prison gangs at the time. The gangs would keep the other prisoners in order, ensure productivity (or mutually assured meeting of quotas by fudging numbers, as those running the camp could be punished alongside prisoners for not meeting these). They also purchased commodities from the guards through pooling methods. One such method was collecting alcohol being given every morning to prisoners during winter months before work. The Urka ordered the prisoners to not swallow the alcohol, and instead to spit it out into a large container after exiting the alcohol line. The alcohol would be collected, and sold to the guards for food or other favors. If you were new and uninformed of this process and swallowed your alcohol, you would get a single warning via a beating and explanation. The Urka were just as important for internal enforcement as the NKVD guards.
Another glimpse into this story is about how medical staff at the gulags enjoyed many perks, even sometimes a relatively normal life. This is because medical personnel were always required not just for the prisoners but for the guards. Even simply becoming a janitor for an associated hospital was enough to spare you the rigors of the physical labor in the camps. Also, those who injured themselves to get to the infirmary were usually sniffed out and executed as it was against the rules to do so. Many people cut off digits or even entire limbs, burned themselves or spilled acid upon themselves just to get a few days in the hospital. Prisoners would often help inflict wounds upon each other so as to make it look like an accident (as self-inflicted wounds show certain characteristics of being so).

It's not like it is currently the same way in the US, but in the middle of a desert lol.

@@evandubois3364 It's weird how the prison population is three times the amount of China, despite having a much lower population. Welcome to the Policed States of America lmao.

"MASON NO!!"
"aagh... I'm fine!"
Steiner says no
i'm hearing Hudson's VA say this
mason yes
*pops steiner in the head*
I love how they put Reznov and Sergei in the video
I love that mason Sergei (I think that’s how you spell it) and Reznov are in the video
I like the fact that two of the characters in the animations are Reznov and Sergei.

No, Steiner no! I'm sure his counteroffensive will come at any second now!
I AM VICTOR REZNOV AND I WILL HAVE MY REVENGE
I love how there are a few references to reznov
I love how you guys drew rezneov in the background
people: welcome to gulag
veterans: REZNOOV!!
guys simple history themselves are veterans (the people who work on the channel)
I love the Call of Duty: Black Ops references in this! Simple History never fails to appeal to it’s fans! A truly elite history UA-cam channel!
This is only Simple History's beginning to be the elite history channel. This is Step One! Secure the fans!
And then, step two! ascend from darkness
“The numbers Mason! What do they mean!?”
Yeah, noticed Reznov and Sergei in the background. NICE
