Actually, fun fact regarding GULAGs, most of the GULAGs were not in Siberia.  A lot of them were in Northern Russia.  Some of the GULAGs were in even in non-Russian Soviet states like Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan.

Here's a fun map of where the Gulags were.


Pictured: Map of the Soviet Union.  Note how most of them are in what we call "ethnic Russia" on the Western edge of Russia.  If you notice, there are some GULAGs in Georgia, Estonia and even near St. Petersburg and Moscow.

If anyone wants to know anything about social work and/or social welfare history in America from the 1890's to now, ask away because I had to research a fuck-ton of it for a final project.

Whatever the case, the Congress of Victors turned out to be a congress of victims. Over the next four years, 1108 of the 1966 delegates were arrested and either disappeared into the gulag or were executed. The Seventeenth Congress, then, was the last at which those with pre-revolutionary and civil war experience in the party predominated.

Wait, Stalin murdered over half of the Congress of Victors?  He really was history's greatest monster!
