No. The Gulags, like the Nazi concentration camps, shouldn't have existed at all. Stalin should have been deposed and forced to live out his days in obscurity or killed outright. No one should be tortured.
Buddy, I'm with you on Communists being antifascist, but the gulags are not something to be praised. Many innocent people were sent there for simply displeasing Stalin in some way.
Yes, WW2 would have been much longer and likely unwinnable without Soviet involvement, but praising the Gulags is just picking which concentration camp you like best.
Some English-language ones I haven't seen in this thread yet:
We Hate Movies- a comedy movie review show mostly about entertainingly bad movies in the vein of How did This Get Made.
No Such Thing As a Fish- some of the researchers from QI share facts they found while prepping the TV show
Unclear and Present Danger- looks at thrillers of the 90's through an historical and leftist lens
Mortal Podkast- Lore dumps about every fighter in the Mortal Kombat series up through MK11. Now over but I still recommend it if you like Mortal Kombat
Mom Can't Cook: A DCOM Podcast- humorous, tangent-heavy recaps of Disney Channel original movies.
Three Black Halflings- insightful discussions about D&D and race from a black perspective. Also some very good actual play series and one-shots mixed in.
Love NADDPOD, and yeah once you get past the rocky start (they talk about dragon pussy within the first 10 minutes) it's a creative and hilarious actual play with some very emotional moments. I cried at several points during campaign 1.
Now now, no one is suggesting violence (out loud). OP is just letting people know that the information is available. If someone uses that information to enact justice where the legal system failed to? Well that's up to them and none of my business.
Former friend of mine named herself Dierdre because of Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri.
