What makes a gulag, well... a gulag? Why do we call it something different than a prison?
Post Body
I recently saw a tweet about the sentencing of a Russian citizen and it framed his punishment as being sent to prison. A number of replies included a comment along the lines of, "it's a gulag. Say that he's being sent to a gulag."
What is it that makes them different? And is that difference unique in Russian history?
