> how much freedom and how many lives they ruined with forced labour, it's even more egregious. How many exactly? West operate lies of notorious propagandists like Solzhenitsyn (which never had access to any statistics). E.g. in the books published on the west you can find absurd numbers like "Stalin sent two millions to the camp X", and later historians prove that you can't place more than 1200 persons in camp X, and there weren't enough houses even for the guards for such absurd amount of people and there weren't roads or waterways to transport that many people, and there're no even you know payment sheets for the number of guards required to guard two millions prisoners. But the West continue to regurgitate the same old lies over and over because who would want to know the truth? The best truth is that USSR was evil, so every tiny piece of evidence saying otherwise should be well hidden from public. It's not like in the contemporary Russia there are powers willing to open that truth either.
