From just after the dawn of Soviet Russia in 1917 to the death of Stalin in 1953, more than 20 million prisoners flowed through the Soviet Gulag system, and by the end nearly 2 million people had died. There were some 30,000 camps spread across the country, providing slave labor that ran the Soviet industrial machine. The Stalinist regime created a culture of hyper-paranoia, where one wrong look could get you sent to Siberia to cut timber or work in the mines. Inside the camps, things were bleak. From gang warfare to mass executions to killer cold and starvation, Russians who were considered threats to the Soviet Union were subjected to some of the most horrific conditions in history.

Welcome back to Nutty History. Today, we’re exploring why you wouldn’t survive life in the Soviet gulags.
