Prison Conditions

A 1957 CIA document entitled “Correctional Labor Camps in the USSR: Transferring Prisoners Out of Camps,” on pages two through six, reveals the following information about the Soviet Gulag:

‒ Until 1952 prisoners were given a guaranteed amount of food, plus extra food for exceeding the norms.

‒ From 1952, the Gulag system operated on the basis of “economic calculation,” so that the more prisoners worked, the more they were paid.

‒ For over-fulfillment of standards by 105%, one day of imprisonment counted as two, which reduced the time spent in the Gulag by one day.

‒ Also, when the Soviet government had more funds as a result of post-war socialist reconstruction, it increased the food standards for prisoners.

‒ Before 1954, prisoners worked 10 hours a day, while free laborers worked 8 hours a day. Since 1954, both prisoners and free laborers worked 8 hours a day.

‒ A CIA study of a standard camp sample found that 95% of the prisoners were habitual criminals.

‒ In 1953, 70% of the “common criminals” of the sample camp studied by the CIA were granted amnesty. Within the next 3 months most of them were re-arrested for new crimes.



Thus, according to the CIA, approximately two million people were sent to the Gulag in the 1930s, while according to declassified Soviet archives it was 2,369,220 up to 1954. When compared to the population of the Soviet Union at the time, as well as statistics In a country like the United States, the percentage of the Gulag population in the USSR throughout its history has been lower than in the United States today or since the 1990s. In fact, according to a study by Souza (1998), the United States had a higher percentage of prisoners (relative to the total population) than the USSR ever had:

"In a small news report that appeared in newspapers for August 1997, the FLT-AP news agency reported that the United States had never before had as many people incarcerated as it did in 1996-5.5 million people. This represents an increase of 200,000 since 1995 and means that the number of criminals in the U.S. is 2.8 percent of the adult population. This data is available to anyone who works for the North American Department of Justice… The number of people convicted in the U.S. today is 3 million more than the maximum number ever held in the Soviet Union! In the Soviet Union, no more than 2.4% of the adult population was incarcerated for their crimes, but in the U.S. the figure is 2.8% and rising! According to a press release issued by the U.S. Department of Justice on January 18, 1998, the number of people convicted in the U.S. in 1997 increased by 96,100.

Who Solzhenitsyn was



Who Solzhenitsyn was
Semyon Badash's open letter to Solzhenitsyn, with whom he was in the same camp.
In 2003, Solzhenitsyn's fellow campmate Semyon Badash wrote him an "Open Letter" in which he accused Solzhenitsyn of deceit, snitching, and anti-Semitism.
"Semyon Badash's "Open Letter" published in the American émigré journal Vestnik, No. 15, 2003.

Unfortunately, this is not the only case of your, to put it mildly, inadequate attitude towards your former friends, including people to whom you owe a lot. Ilya Zilberberg's book "A Necessary Conversation with Solzhenitsyn" (Ilya Zilberberg. 14 Colchster Vale. Forest Row. Sussex. Great Britain. 1976). Its author was friends with the Teusza family, who secretly kept your archive. After the Teusha's apartment became unreliable, they, going on vacation, gave it to Ilya Iosifovich Zilberberg. But by that time the Gebists had already tapped the Teushey's cell phone and knew everything in advance. On September 11, 1965, they raided Zilberberg's house, took the folder with your materials, after which both Teusch and Zilberberg were dragged for many weeks for interrogation.
Not only did you not take part in their fate, but you did not show up at Teusz's house for several months, and Zilberberg was even accused of cooperating with the GB. You, of course, were believed in dissident circles, after which this crystal-clear man lived for many years with a stigma that remained on him even after his emigration from the USSR. All his attempts to explain himself to you or to your trusted people came to nothing. In "The Calf" you disparagingly and insultingly called V. Teusch "an anthroposophist who handed over the archive to his proselyte-anthroposophist, the young I. Zilberberg".

Also, Solzhenitsyn's last name has the root of the word lzhe (i.e. lie), It's hard to believe such a liar.
