Such a sad fact of life that these people live in a humility where you have to seek them out.

The real ones are in North Korea. Navalny wasn't in a gulag fwiu, just a remote prison in the far north.

Crazy story. He passed away a few hours after his mechutenste died in her sleep. Husband and wife from Crown Heights both went to Israel to sit Shiva separately.

There’s not enough space below the arctic circle to house prisoners? That’s gulag enough for me. I’m not saying NK isn’t worse in some ways.

Then you wonder why a 47 year old prisoner gets sick after going for a walk in February.

Gulag by definition is a camp where the detainees are subjected to forced labor in brutal conditions. Also, needless to say that he didn't die from a cold or hypothermia naturally.

If you;re reffering to the immidiate previous post,
There are people who's hobby is persecuting other people who wrote sforim that don't toe the line to exactly the current frumy hashgafa. For what he got from those people, yes, everything in the post is accurate.

That post is alleging that "those people" caused his death. Is that a justified stance? Genuinely curious, I know basically nothing about him or any story. It just seems a reach, and a really weird way to react to someone's passing.
