The Mark of Cain

This video was very disturbing to me. I recently read a book in an English class that was set in a Russian gulag and the entire concept is simply grotesque. The people in these gulags are poorly fed and simply chaotic. So much murder, deceit, and drugs go through these systems and they are in a sense some extremely corrupt prisons. Guards can torture prisoners and the prisoners are already tortured just based off of their living conditions go. The social class based off the tattoos was, however, very interesting and it is cool to see how all cultural groups develop based on their conditions. For more about gulags and how stalin brought them to power i suggest visiting this site<http://gulaghistory.org/nps/onlineexhibit/stalin/> it provides good background information and insight into the system.
