Where do you get those numbers? In 20th century it was about a couple of millions, a few years ago it was 30 millions, today it's 42 millions... What will be tomorrow? A 1 billion I guess?
Population of the Soviet Union in 1926 (before Stalin's repressions):
147 millions
Population of the Soviet Union in 1939 (after Stalin's repressions):
170 millions
Population of the Soviet Union in 1959 (after Stalin's repressions and WWII):
209 millions
Number of Soviet prisoners in 1937 (the year known for Stalin's repressions) aka "GULAG":
1,2 millions
Number of prisoners in the United States in 2013 (just for a comparison of the World's freest country with the USSR during bloody Stalin's regime):
more than 1,57 millions
So there are more prisoners in the USA today than Soviet Union has during Stalin's repressions. How come?
