> We are all inclined to accept the Zemskov totals (even if not as complete) with their 14 million intake to Gulag 'camps' alone, to which must be added 4—5 million going to Gulag 'colonies', to say nothing of the 3.5 million already in, or sent to, 'labour settlements'. > The total of arrests given in the Shvernik report for 1937-38 is 1 372 392, of whom 681 692 are given as shot. The total entering Gulag camps in that period as given by Zemskov is 1 853 513. this is for one year mind you https://sovietinfo.tripod.com/CNQ-Victims_Stalinism.pdf https://sovietinfo.tripod.com/CNQ-Victims_Stalinism.pdf
