All the dead Ukrainians didn’t help

From what I know of imperial rule the shit that the Tsar was pushing was more akin to colonialism and settlement of the interior. Not based on shoring up labor shortages or getting access to resources like Stalin was pushing so hard for.

Although it was surely about resources, I dont think it was done in the same vein as Stalin's crack at it.

I don't see much difference tbh

That said I dont know as much about imperial Russia.

The main difference is that there were much more Poles and Lithuanians resettled during the Tsarist rule, but that's pretty obvious

There's still a considerable number of Poles in Syberia and Kazakhstan because of that

In my country there is problem

I mean, because of GULAG to, but during the communist rule it was mainly Russians and Ukrainians who would get resettled East

What's the problem and what's the country?

Ignore that

How many people were sent to the gulags roughly?

Hard to say, especially because we don't have access to the official data

If we're speaking only about people send to lagers in gulag system, it was few hundreds of thousands iirc

>Figures supposedly compiled by the Gulag administration itself (and released by Soviet historians in 1989) show that a total of 10 million people were sent to the camps in the period from 1934 to 1947. The true figures remain unknown.

Shit, I probably mixed the numbers with numbers of Poles in lagers

>Lagers

I'm pretty sure I've heard the number 400 000

I too enjoy the taste of a lager.

Nothing like liquid Poland in your beer to get you fucked up amirite?

It means "camp" in German and Russian

The one thing they agree upon

I think the numbers are inflated but still

>According to a 1993 study of archival Soviet data, a total of 1,053,829 people died in the Gulag(not including labor colonies) from 1934 to 1953 (there was no archival data for the period 1919–1934).
