The Gulag also imprisoned children. Some of these children (and their parents) wrote letters to their relatives in Canada even though it was a crime. "Remember us -- Do not forget us" was their common plea. Thankfully, their letters have been preserved. Samples of them can be found at <a href="http://www.gulagletters.com" rel="nofollow">www.gulagletters.com</a>. Thank you for remembering! The Gulag also imprisoned children.

Many of our U.S. citizens today are the offspring of those who were courageous enough to flee the atrocities of their homeland to secure the benefits of freedom at great cost. Thank you, Heritage Foundation, for making this exhibit available to the public and continuing to remind us of the high value or our liberties.

I wonder if anyone is currently incarcerated for exercising freedom of speech? I wonder what their daily prison life must be like in Siberia? And, are pansy but well-meaning libs are worried about terrorist fanatics that have better living conditions and food at GITMO then virtually any prison in the U.S. Wonder what we would find in a "modern" Russian penal institution?

The glorification of Stalin is gaining pace. It is sad that the old order is returning to Russia. The glorification of Stalin is gaining pace.
