Historical Picture of the Day- A glimpse of the "Gulag Archipelago."

        Here is a glimpse into the "Gulag Archipelago," that Alexander Solzhenitsyn revealed in his three-volume written account, of the Soviet Union's forced-labor-driven-economy, that was responsible for the deaths of approximately 66 million "dissident" Russians. In this photograph, workers are being forced to build the White Sea-Baltic Canal, one of the very first Soviet super-projects, that utilized political dissidents to drive the industrial power of the Soviet Union. China, as well, adopted this method of forced economic labor, and claimed more lives than in Russia, respectively, after China became communist.
