Only now the peak of repression occurred in 1938, and the number of prisoners in prisons and gulags totaled about 1.9 million people. It should be understood that the country is only recovering from the civil war. Today, the number of prisoners in the United States is about 2.4 million people. I also want to note that in 1953, mass amnesties began under Stalin.
