Ernst Nolte: “The Gulag came before Auschwitz.”
Robert Conquest:
“For Russians – and it is surely right that this should become true for the world as a whole – Kolyma [one part of the Gulag] is a word of horror wholly comparable to Auschwitz … it did indeed kill some three million people, a figure well in the range of that of the victims of the Final Solution.”[9]
