2 Parts. After the 1:20 Hour mark it's just another 35+ minutes showing the Gulag 90 years later all over the Gulag. *Pretty Boring Unless You Want To See the Before & After* The “grandfather” of all Soviet camps, strictly speaking, Solovki existed long before the Gulag. It was essentially a testing ground for the use of mass prison labor. “The use of prison labor arose from there,” Leonid Borodkin, head of the Center for Economic History at Moscow State University, told radio station Echo of Moscow. On the icy islands in the White Sea, tens of thousands of prisoners felled trees, built roads, and drained swamps. At first, the regime was relatively “soft” — but by the late 1920s it had become a genuine hellhole. Uncooperative prisoners were beaten with sticks, drowned, and tortured. Alexander Solzhenitsyn in his exposé work The Gulag Archipelago described Solovki as a “polar Auschwitz.” In the early 1930s, Solovki was disbanded, and the prisoners were moved to other camps. The test had proven successful — and the time had come to expand the system across the entire gigantic country. Location: Solovetsky Islands (1,400 km north of Moscow) Period of existence: 1923-1933 Max. number of prisoners: 71,800 Donate: Donorbox: https://tinyurl.com/jhu4ff2k Liberapay: https://tinyurl.com/e249e5cc Other Platforms: YouTube: https://tinyurl.com/n4ek7ymu Bitchute: https://tinyurl.com/adt44yhs Odysee: https://tinyurl.com/c5625npr Odysee II: https://tinyurl.com/y54tf5k7 XB/PS Captures: https://tinyurl.com/37558ddc Social: Twitter: https://tinyurl.com/te4jhhv3 Minds: https://tinyurl.com/4xh42uzz

The operations are credited to Doctor Sergei Brukhonenko and Boris Levinskovsky, who were demonstrating a special heart-lung apparatus called the autojektor (or autojector), also referred to as the heart-lung machine. Vladimir Demikhov: was a Soviet scientist and organ transplantation pioneer, who performed several transplants in the 1940s and 1950s, including the transplantation of a heart into an animal and a heart–lung replacement in an animal. He is also well known for his dog head transplants, which he conducted during the 1950s, resulting in two-headed dogs. This ultimately led to the head transplants in monkeys by Dr. Robert White, who was inspired by Demikhov's work.
