Yeah .. Find me an AES nation that'd take my wife and I in when I haven't yet finished my degree. Many places will not welcome you unless you have skills to provide. In addition we're both trans women so that doesn't help the situation.

Gulags were a continuation of the Tsarist Katorgas. The katorga camps weren’t some vacation.
They were starved of resources, employed forced labor for the empire, and inmates could be sentenced there for anything from common crimes to revolutionary beliefs (even common liberalism).
From the turbulent times post-revolution to post-WW2, the Gulags were a tool of their era to keep the country afloat while handling counter revolutionaries, actual Nazis, and common criminals.
And if they are, virtually every news article is misgendering them. Even the ones who bring up the alleged name change..
