If there was justice on this earth, those who dreamt up that Archipelago should all have perished within it.

There's no justice. I don't think a single person responsible for the GULAG, or running the mass murder within the GULAG, ever faced justice, or ever will. And there were tens of millions of people who perished there, in the most horrible conditions one can imagine.

At any rate, I found the montage was well made (though obviously on a string budget), and the music quite moving. You guys ever listen to Rachmaninov?
