Hi
Great view from the cabin today
Ah, my favorite show
Easter in the mountains
I used to be terrified by GULAGs just as much as you’re (I’m still, just not as much), but I think one of the main keys in this whole case is that Soviet government made a failure in terms of self explanation in public field, first with their own citizens, second with foreign countries. I can’t give an estimation of how much is exaggerated. My great grandma almost got into GULAG, it’s a terrible story and a tragedy, but she was given a choice to join army in 1942 instead, so she became a combat medic and was commissioned after being heavily wounded and having an amputation. I used to take truthfulness for granted, but now I started doubting it big time and there’re a lot of reasons for that. I didn’t wanna say “nah, it’s all bullshit”, but: it’s a dreadful tragedy, however I have an opinion of the whole scale of these events being a little exaggerated and there’re other sides of these story to analyze.
P.S. It’s always nice to see here people who’re concerned about serious topics and are passionate to learning, researching, trying to find meaning etc.
