    I asked for that... I should have specified 'meaningful'. The first sentence of your link: "First opened in 1933, the White Sea-Baltic Canal was built on the backs of gulag prisoners. By the time it was done, more than 25,000 laborers had lost their lives." What a triumph!

      It was hard to find but that's how US dug the Panama: In the end, 350 white workers had died compared to 4,500 black workers.
