Russian general Gurulyov, known for drunken TV outbursts, calls for Soviet-era Gulag revival – video

“We have abolished the death penalty. More precisely, we have a moratorium. I said it incorrectly,” said Gurulyov.

“A moratorium on the death penalty. And it’s not up for discussion. But if a person goes against the state, probably, measures need to be taken. They tell me, ‘You want to revive the GULAG.’ But I honestly say, so that those who harm our homeland today here, inside, happily wave a pickaxe in the area of the Kolyma Highway. It’s true. Probably, some period is needed to change something.”

Oddly enough, this time the general-deputy even showed some “humanity” towards Russians, as previously he demanded the complete destruction of 20% of Russian citizens, accusing them of insufficient support for Kremlin dictator Vladimir Putin.
