"Of the millions of individuals sent to the Soviet Gulags between the 1920s and 1950s, the majority were Russian. Estimates suggest that around 80-90% of the people sent to these notorious labor camps were ethnic Russians, a horrifying statistic given the scale of suffering. This stark fact reflects not only the overwhelming size of the Russian population in the Soviet Union at the time but also the brutal, indiscriminate nature of Stalin’s regime.
Though many other ethnic groups—such as Ukrainians, Poles, and those from the Baltic states—were also targeted, the sheer number of ethnic Russians who were swept up in this system is appalling. The Gulags were primarily used as a tool for crushing political dissent, silencing perceived "enemies of the state," and forcing millions into unimaginable hardship and death. It is an undeniable tragedy, a horrific chapter in history, where an entire population was subjected to inhumane treatment.
The fact that such atrocities were carried out with such reckless disregard for human life is a stain on humanity. Millions of innocent lives were shattered under the guise of "justice" and "order." The immense suffering of those people should not only be a reminder of the cruelty of totalitarian regimes, but also a lesson we must never forget."
