Pictures from the book “Drawings from the #GULAG” by Danzig Baldaev, a retired Soviet prison guard. Through his eyes, we get to see some of the brutal acts of Soviet genocide performed on those imprisoned. How can anyone want to glorify Stalin? ImageImageImageImage

Historians estimate that nearly 14 million people were thrown into a gulag prison during Stalin’s reign. Image

In the wake of the 2013 Euromaidan protests and the 2014 annexation of Crimea, the decommunization laws were signed by then-President Petro Poroshenko OTD May 15, 2015. Image
Under these laws, streets, towns, and institutions with Soviet-inspired monikers were renamed, and all Soviet flags, emblems, and military regalia were banned in Ukraine. This ban extended to any imagery bearing the likenesses of Vladimir Lenin and Joseph Stalin. Image
