Repost of post I made on Genzedong. Actual handout I recieved during history class. And they say DPRK citizens are the ones hopelessly brainwashed.

      No gulagS. Just one, the acronym GULag itself means “chief administration of camps”. There were many camps and prisons under control of that one GULag, but that’s not really that different from most countries. Colloquially word “gulag” came to mean “any soviet camp or prison” and it sounds more alien for propaganda purposes but the list here pretends to be serious so arguably such use isn’t appropriate
