Huh, who knew that ‘gulag’ was a Russian acronym? It’s Slavic sounding enough as it is….
- gulag
- system of prisons and labor camps, especially for political detainees, in the former Soviet Union; rough acronym from Rus. Glavnoe upravlenie ispravitel’no-trudovykh lagerei “Chief Administration of Corrective Labor Camps,” set up in 1931.
