It honestly sounds like you are confusing the Nazis with communists. The qulags were labor camps, not death camps, VERY little amount of people died in qulags when penicillin was fully implemented in Soviet Union. LACK of medicine was the PRIMARY cause of death in gulags. Millions of people in Europe and America died due to the Spanish flu, yet NO ONE would accuse those countries of killing their civilians! Yet a variety of causes of deaths in Soviet Union was intentionally labeled to be due to communism.
