Expert: Western researchers become the first to recognize GULAG statistics
At first, these Western historians and experts, who were “brought up” on the falsifications of Conquest and Solzhenitsyn, decidedly did not believe in the statistics of NKVD. Meticulous, professional, and highly reputable Western researchers, who cross-checked all these statistics, were the first to admit that everything was in order with the statistics of the Gulag in the USSR. Similarly, they acknowledged (on the basis of declassified archival documents) the fact that fraudsters of the system, regardless of their rank, almost inevitably (and often enough) were punished for it by the same system.
