  1. Ninety percent of the 71 detainees contacted in the concentration camp on Fort Bliss say they were beaten by guards or witnessed beatings, in addition to inedible meals and lack of access to medication or lawyers.

  3. "[S]ix million people were sent to the #Soviet #Gulag. A quarter did not survive. Another 16-17 million were transported to strict regime #laborcamps, where the death rate was around 10%.

    Within these numbers are the names of tens of thousands of #Jews of every kind, from the devout #hassid to the #assimilated #Communist.

    #Stalin’s rule was fortified by spies who believed that they were repairing the world and saving it from the ravages of #fascism. The most effective of these were five young idealists who were at #CambridgeUniversity in the 1930s and who bore witness to the rise of #Hitler and the march of #Nazism across Europe.

    #TheCambridgeFive: #GuyBurgess, #DonaldMcLean, #KimPhilby, #AnthonyBlunt, and #JohnCairncross sold their collective soul to Stalin. While their story has been retold countless times in many #books, the remarkable Stalin’s Apostles: The Cambridge Five and the Making of the Soviet Empire by #AntoniaSenior sheds new light[...]"

  5. Local authorities of #Vorkuta #Russia have demolished a monument to the memory of victims of #GULag buried in a mass grave underneath. The authorities explained that this happened on the request by a “veteran of a special military operation who returned home” who was offended by the fact the memorial plaque listed 33 names of #Ukraine nationals who died there in 1950’s. They also claimed they were “Nazis from UPA” but the problem is that the birth dates indicate than when UPA operated they were at most 14-15 years old.

    This incident is part of a broader trend of removing monuments and memorial plaques dedicated to the victims of Soviet mass executions and repressions all across Russia.

  10. Ich sage "Wir haben das Problem erkannt, was machen wir? Der Leitung berichten?"
    Und mein Kollege erzählt einen seiner berühmten #Russenwitz

    Im #Gulag sind drei Männer
    "es ist total ungerecht dass ich hier bin! Ich habe doch nur Igor Girkin kritisiert!"
    "DAS ist ungerecht, Ich habe nur Igor Girkin gelobt!"
    "Wann hört ihr endlich auf über mich zu reden?"

    (er sagt man erzähle den Witz mittlerweile "3 Männer sitzen in der Ukraine im Schützengraben..." makaber!)

  11. Auf ARTE lief gerade die dreiteilige Doku über den sowjetischen GULAG. Sie endet mit der Feststellung, dass erst jetzt die Erinnerung an ihn wieder zunehme. Die Doku ist von 2019. Die Berichte zu einem guten Teil von Memorial gesammelt. Putin hat Memorial inzwischen verboten. Die Verbrechen Stalins sollen verschwiegen werden, damit auch nicht mehr über die Verbrechen Putins gesprochen wird.

  15. How do photographs and films produced by repressive regimes change once the regimes themselves collapse?

    Natalija Arlauskaitė views archives not as neutral repositories, but as visual systems of knowledge, power, and loyalty. Focusing on artistic practices of de- and re-archiving, she analyzes how images participate in the production of subjectivity, agency, and citizenship.

    "Nur wenige Bücher haben den Lauf der Geschichte wirklich verändert; "Der Archipel #Gulag" ist eines davon. Es gilt als eines der einflussreichsten Bücher des 20. Jahrhunderts. Autor Alexander #Solschenizyn, selbst ehemaliger Lagerinsasse, gab damit den Millionen in Sowjetlagern Inhaftierten eine Stimme und offenbarte die grausame Realität des stalinistischen Unterdrückungssystems."
