The Soviet Gulag system was in effect no different than concentration camps. It concentrated political dissidents, troublesome ethnic minorities, and those who Stalin felt couldn't be trusted.

Calling them concentration camps, gulags, or boncentration bamps (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vlmGknvr_Pg). They're all the same.

The gulag system collected "problem" people and made them disappear.

Would it have been better if the Nazis called their prisons "gulags"?
