[lbo-talk] Surpassing the Gulag in Scale

[andie nachgeborenen]

At the risk of sound like Mike P., "dignity of labor"
was not exactly what was offered the zeks in the
Gulag. Skim Conquest's book on Kolyma or
Solzhentisyn's Gulag Archipelago; if those accounts
are too tainted for a leftist audience, try
Antonov-Ovsykenko's In the Time of Stalin of Ginzburgs
Into the Whirlwind. jks
