Chapter 1677: All Came from the Gulag
In the top floor bar, Xiao Peng and Fabian sat there drinking. Fabian was telling Xiao Peng about what happened in St. Petersburg. Xiao Peng was laughing.
"Those damn bastards all came out of the Gulag!" Fabian said angrily.
Xiao Peng couldn't help laughing: "Hey, Fabian, you've made progress. You even know about the Gulag!"
"Gulag" and "KGB" are similar, both are names of government agencies in the former Soviet era. It should be called "Main Administration of Labor Camps", which is the agency responsible for managing the Soviet Labor Reform Bureau at that time.
There were countless labor camps in the Soviet Union back then. At its peak, 1% of the entire Soviet population was imprisoned in the Gulag labor camps.
There is no other way! Although Russia has good security now, it was terrible during the Soviet era.
It is said that the first movie shot after the founding of the Soviet Union was called "Red Devils", which tells the story of a scout who fights bandits with his wits. The bandit Makhno was played by a Ukrainian guy named Kucherenko. After the movie was released, Kucherenko quickly became famous all over the country because of his slang in the film.
Then he was arrested because he dragged the crew's lighting technicians and script supervisors into 22 robberies and 11 murders during the filming. A closer look revealed that Kucherenko was Makhno's subordinate before he became an actor...
Even Lenin was robbed on the streets of Moscow, and his money and car were stolen!
Because of this, Stalin immediately waved his hand as soon as he came to power: Arrest them all! Imprison them all in Prague! By that year, the total number of people imprisoned in Prague exceeded 20 million!
The advantage of this is that social security is greatly improved, but the disadvantage is... all the bad guys are locked up together!
Due to the onset of World War II, the Gulags still practiced a system of prisoners managing prisoners. The consequences were predictable: some prisoners in the Gulags called themselves "thieves of the law," becoming the underground rulers of the Gulags. Strict rules were also established, prohibiting all "thieves of the law" from collaborating with the government.
Later, when World War II broke out, the Soviet Union faced a huge crisis in manpower, so they recruited soldiers from the Gulag and allowed prisoners in Prague to join the army in exchange for reduced sentences. As a result, a group of Gulag prisoners were pulled to the front line!
This incident aroused the hostility of the "barbarians" in the Gulag. Barbarians were forbidden to cooperate with the state. So they called these prisoners who fought for the country "Suka".
When the Second World War ended and the Sukha returned to the Gulag to serve the remainder of their sentences, an eight-year conflict erupted between the thieves and the Sukha—known as the Sukha War. Gulags throughout the Soviet Union were in turmoil, and both the thieves and the Sukha were no match for each other.
The legal thieves were well-organized, taking advantage of the timing and location. But what about the Sukhas? They had been baptized by the flames of World War II, possessing strong fighting capabilities and adept teamwork. They also collaborated with management to gain the support of the people. That battle was raging, and it had a profound impact on the Russians.
Anyone who enjoys reading world news knows that the Emperor, facing terrorist attacks in Russia a few years ago, said, "Drown the terrorists in the toilet." This phrase actually comes from Gulag jargon: many labor camps in the Gulag lacked toilets, instead using large pits dug in remote corners. During the Sukha War, these pits became designated killing grounds, where people were thrown in and drowned. Thus, "drowning in the toilet" became standard legal jargon.
In fact, the Great Emperor is a loyal fan of prison jargon. Many of his words come from the Gulag back then, such as "grab Saakashvili's eggs" and he calls the opposition "monkey people", all of which are from the Gulag jargon.
The 'Sukha War' lasted for eight years, with both sides fighting to the death and many people dying in the Gulag.
But the war was inconclusive - it ended with Stahu's death.
After Stalin's death, his successor, Khrushchev, launched a general amnesty, releasing millions of Gulag prisoners into society. The Soviet Union entered an era of rampant chaos. Then, during the Brezhnev era, if you threw a rock from a building and hit anyone, they were basically Soviet gangsters...
However, the Soviet gangs at that time were still different from the gangs later.
At that time, the Soviet Union was a planned economy, so many commodities were not available. At that time, the gangs were responsible for smuggling these things on the black market. Especially after Gorbachev issued the prohibition order in 1985, the Soviet gangs made a lot of money by smuggling alcohol.
What really brought this place to the peak was the collapse of the former Soviet Union.
During that period, due to the chaotic management, the mafia focused on arms smuggling. There's a joke about that period: the CIA contacted the Russian mafia and asked if they could help them acquire a Russian strategic nuclear submarine. After learning of the CIA's needs, the Russian mafia responded with a sincere question: Do you want one with missiles or without missiles?
This is really not a joke!
Between 1991 and 1994, when Russia was still known as the Commonwealth of Independent States, 52 cases of nuclear material "lost" were reported internally. In 1992, 14,000 brand-new rifles were lost at once. In 1994, 4,000 rifles and 17 anti-tank missiles were lost.
And this is just the tip of the iceberg of what was lost that year.
In those days, Russia was dominated by two giants: the criminal empire of Usoyan and the criminal empire of Vyacheslav Ivankov, the latter of whom was the wrestling coach of the Great Emperor. These two criminal empires, still united, essentially dominated the Russian underworld.
At that time, these two gangs were protected by the Russian government!
This is no joke. When Chechen terrorists were sabotaging and taking hostages in Russia, it was Usoyan who served as the negotiating representative on behalf of the Russian government!
However, "no one is beautiful forever, and no flower is red forever." Following the deaths of Usoyan and Ivankov, Russia also launched a large-scale anti-gangster campaign. In the past decade, Russia's social security has undergone tremendous changes compared to before - this is very similar to Daxia.
However, they couldn't catch up to Daxia, as the city had a strong gang culture, resulting in countless smaller gangs. The "gulag comers" Fabian mentioned were referring to these people.
Xiao Peng looked at Fabian's angry expression and said, "Okay, don't be angry, you and I promise that everything will be fine. We have Desarev, right?"
Desarev sat on the side and didn't know how to answer this question: You really think I'm a thug!
Fabian was about to speak when a waiter suddenly came up to him with a cocktail and said, "Sir, this is for you from the lady over there. She wants to get to know you."
