It really is sad. Even a year ago, could you imagine that "liberals" would be aghast at the thought that we're about to have peace with an enemy that's been around for 60 years now?

Today's Russian prisons, home to over 830,000 prisoners and 560 out of every 100,000 Russians as of 2010, are, by most accounts, a vast improvement over the the notorious prison-camp system of the Stalin era.
I just hope that we don’t all start squabbling about this with threads from the right trying to bash the left with it or threads with the left trying to pretend this isn’t a big deal.

Well every Country has a prison system. GULags, from my quick research, was dissolved years ago and in 2010 the estimated number of inmates in in the Russia prison system as 830,000.

The U.S. Incarcerated population for 2010 was 2,266,800 link
I don't know much about Russian mass starvation maybe they have an issue with food production or agriculture. I know here in the states ppl would have a hard time surviving if grocery stores went out of business or we lost the corporate agriculture industry abruptly we would not have enough small farms to support the population.
