Wrong use of the term gulag. Common mistake from a common man. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is b*****dised and may now be common usage but the gulag was the administrative body/person. It’s like uninformed people referring to United players as Arabs when the term refers to supporters. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's a more grown up definition from an age appropriate source. "The term “GULAG” is an acronym for the Soviet bureaucratic institution, Glavnoe Upravlenie ispravitel’no-trudovykh LAGerei(Main Administration of Corrective Labor Camps), that operated the Soviet system of forced labor camps in the Stalin era." 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some rag called the Collins Dictionary. I’d say DeeMan’s useage of the term has been perfectly comprehensible for at least the last half century. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
