Gulag, the Story - Part 1(1918-1936) | FULL DOCUMENTARY

A major political, historical, human and economic fact of the 20th century, the Gulag, the extremely punitive Soviet concentration camp system, remains largely unknown.
The history of the Gulag is long, complex and in many ways out of the ordinary. From the Revolution of 1917 to Gorbachev, touching on the civil war, the Great Terror, World War II, the Cold War and the death of Stalin, this series describes the workings of the Gulag.
How and why did the USSR create this system of forced-labour camps in which 20 million prisoners were exploited and worked to the bone?
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

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".

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.

Joseph Stalin was a little bit more statesman, like even though he was a thug. All of those Bolsheviks were brutes

[@salvadorvizcarra769]

Stalin was a GIANT of his time. Joseph Stalin lived in a historical era, where the world required strong leadership. So, he had to be an energetic, severe leader. Imposing! Or, otherwise, “Mother Russia” would have disappeared from the map. Stalin was what he had to be: A Great Leader. A Great Statesman. Stalin inherited a barren, rural, forgotten country, illiterate, hungry, superstitious, lacking everything and, to make matters worse, helpless until eviction. Stalin turned it into an industrialized and powerful superpower, which made the world tremble. Russia was 100 years behind the West and, once the precariousness and devastation caused by the War had been overcome, he, Stalin, the “Founder of the USSR”, launched the world's first Aero-Space Program. Stalin received a Russia that was at war for almost 30 years. (Starting with the humiliating defeat against the Empire of Japan, 1904-1905. Russian Revolution, 1905. WWI, 1914-1918. Bolshevik Revolution 1917-1922. Civil War against the “White Russians”, 1922-1927. WWII 1940-1945… Plus the Pandemic of the so-called “Spanish Fever”, 1918-1920. And, plus the “Wall Street Financial Crash”, from 1929-1937). In other words, Stalin assumed power in a country hit by wars, sickened by the Pandemic and economically bankrupt by the world crisis. These calamities left Russia dispossessed and miserable. Stalin rescued her by imposing discipline and work. Stalin was great; magnificent, highly cultured and astute. He was a Titan with an iron fist. Loved by his people and feared by his enemies. It has been more than 70 years since Stalin died, and Western Propaganda doesn't stop vilifying him. For what purpose? What would be its use now? .

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?

At list six hundred years before the revolution, the monasteries in Russia served also as prisons. @<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="128">2:08</a> 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.

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. BTW, Stalin was Georgian. Not Russian!

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".

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.

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.

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.
