Gulag Uprisings - Norilsk, Vorkuta, Kengir Rebellions in the USSR 

Good one

@Jebus Hypocristos That's gonna be a yikes from me dog. Just calling all the prisoners "fascists" doesn't make it so. The Soviets at this time locked up pretty much anyone they felt like. This included their own captured soldiers, (many of which became inmates of nazi concentration camps) with their only "crime" being actual victims of nazism.

Good one, sounds like like a Reagan joke Lol

Three inmates meet inside a gulag. The first one says: “I’m here for supporting comrade Kuznetsov.” The second one replies: “That can’t be right: I’m here for opposing comrade Kuznetsov!” The third one exclaims: “I’m comrade Kuznetsov!”

He was probably UPA affiliated, I imagine he hated his captors especially after holodomor

If he was into the GULAG from before the war he wasn't from the UPA I assume... A random victim of NKVD "quota" arrests during the Great Terror, I assume?

@@stefanodadamo6809 He was arrested for contact with the UPA and anti-Soviet agitation in 1948 and was imprisoned until 1956. The second arrest took place in 1967.

He was probably a nazi sympath.

@@folkishappalachian6827 guys holodomer isnt fucking real. It was nazi peddled propaganda agains the soviets. It was documented well as a natural famine while at the same time had kulaks burining, hoarding livestock and grain. Russia was also affected greatly by it so no, it wanst some man-made genocide

"Reznov!!!"

commies nowadays trying to rush communism hahaha they will fail

Stalin's rule was ultra paranoid to the point where he couldn't trust his own nation's POWs. I'm sure this alone made the Gulag populations massive.

There were only 3 possible sentences for the political. Total innocence gave you 10 years, some sort of circumstantial evidence gave you 25 years. If you were actually believed to be anti-Soviet, or with connections abroad, you usually got the 3rd option, capital sentence.

Every anarchist should brush up on the history of the betrayals and massacres committed by the Communists upon the Anarchists. It's amazing how many foolish people cling to the delusion of an anarcho-red alliance.

Indeed! The references to a game trivialize the real human drama of nearly powerless people to improve their conditions in the face of ruthless officials with almost unlimited power. Real people *died* in the course of those efforts. They didn't get to restart their game with their lives restored at some later time.

@@priest0701, no. His family owned a camera factory in Dresden, and were under house arrest during WWII. This camera factory may have been the reason he and his father were arrested by Soviet authorities. He was held at Buchenwald; his access to records there has been speculated as the reason he was sent to the Gulag, where the Soviets denied his existence. He was released after another inmate wrote a letter to one of Noble's relatives, speaking of his "noble nephew". This forced the Soviets to acknowledge his existence, and he was released with two other Americans.

I remember reading that in that book. I absolutely love his writing style. He puts you right there in the events mentally.

Solzhi is a literal nazi

URAAAAAAA!

Stalin was extremely paranoid and believed they surrendered in order to defect and fight against him

They only imprisoned fascists

You know which other country also got numerous coups and military governments? Bolivia

@A Velsen It's not quite as simple as that. Books about Gulags are widely sold in the book shops in Russia. All the true information is available, just not on state controlled TV channels and the press

@A Velsen You have no idea what you are talking about. There is plenty of historical literature you can buy in the bookshop about the Gulags, the crimes of the Soviet regime etc. Where do you live to even debate this?

@A Velsen And this has what to do with my statement on historically accurate information still available to Russians? That's right - nothing. I hate the Putin regime, but I am Russian and I understand the country and the nuances and don't make sweeping all encompassing statements based on a few articles that I read.

@A Velsen Under Putin, the books of Solzhenitsin and and the books of Shalamov are mandatory for reading at school

@@zsg87 Shamalov? Never hear of this name. What's the full name and titles of books you would recommend. I can't read Russian so they must have English translation.

there is no need for unnecessary violence to restore order

One simply cannot deny that things were very much more civilized under Khruschev than they had been under Stalin and Beriya.

Well, the objective of the guards and the government wasn't to kill the inmates (they were there to be slave labor and be punished by it), but scare them back into compliance and show them that gunning down the disenters was very much on the table. This would cow most inmates. So likely most deaths occurred during the initial strike suppression plus individual cases of cruelty of guards on their own will or targeted displays of cruelty, from administration, to show what will happen to those that dissent.

@@Blazo_Djurovic Read Victor Herman (Coming out of ice). That will set Your facts on how much the working force of the slaves was cared for straight.

@@u.v.s.5583 Oh, they didn't really care much if workers died from the punishment. It's not far from truth that they'd basically decide that they needed some mine in some arse end of nowhere, just piled couple thousand inmates into box cars and offloaded them there and had them build the mine from start. Of help from the government they might get tools, but much more plentiful was beatings. But still, the main purpose of GULAG system apart from being a boogeyman, was to extract resources with free labour from shithole places. Which in theory should have been cheaper than getting proper workers there. A theory that in the end was not true.

Initially they were the old ruling class who were sent to gulags and eventually became kapos... If you speak French check out the channel Gouvhd it's by far one of the best history channels on RU-vid and only deals on Russia (he's Russian and french )

one way out!

Those were nazi collaborators. And so was Solzhi

I think you're on the wrong channel. Blair Mountain was 25 years before the start of the cold war, which is the time period covered by this channel.

Both parties are one in the same, it's an illusion. You only thought the Left was "good" because they are master manipulators and they target the youth

@@IIISWILIII not even a question of parties, the parties in the US are not that ideologically distinct, only their rhetoric is The left are not master manipulators any more than the right is, because most people are not ideologically bound to either the hard right or left. They are both a significant minority. Most people are bound to either of those two parties in the US, which are both liberal centrist parties, one more center left and one more center right. That’s the real dirty secret partisans of both sides won’t tell you. To say that the “left are master manipulators” reminds me of another totalitarian states propaganda and who they blamed for all of their society’s problems

That would be an interesting comparison.

I mean, it's similar because it's a little bit relatable Yes it's not exactly about what the video is talking about But still, it's better than using another even more irrelevant footage that doesn't make sense, like a sports game that you said

They're soviet prisoners either way. Anyone paying attention realizes that the footage isn't exact.
