    When ignoring the period of 1941-1944 (nazi occupation of the soviet union and ww2) where 70% of all deaths in gulags occurred, the program actually had an incredibly low death rate for its time.

    In fact, nazis murdered so many people in USSR, that gulag even in the war years was actually statistically safer place to be than outside gulag, especially outside in the occupied parts. For example nazis murdered something like 1/3rd of entire population of Belarussian SSR.
