Purges and hard labor and mistreatment in the Gulags killed, annually, approximately?

A) 1 million


B) 500,000


C) 100,000


D) 50,000|||It depends on the time frame, what is included as part of the Gulag system, and whose numbers you use. Over the entire history of the USSR D is probably closest to being correct but during Stalin's rule C is more accurate, and at times during World War II B might be right.





Based on what you've given I'd say C.

Explosive shells, poison gas, bullets, trenchfoot, hunger, lousy sanitary conditions, bullet wounds, corpses rotting in no-man's land, stink, snipers, artillery barrages, lice, typhus, mud, cold.|||Define mistreatment.





The conditions described in one of the other answers are a true description of conditions, but what, exactly, do you mean by 'mistreatment?"

Please be a little more specific; your question is good, but pretty vague.|||A lot of writing about WW1 involves the mistreatment of the (working class) troops by the indifferent upper-class generals, many of whom believed the only way to win a war was through attrition, as opposed to strategy.





Two of the biggest wastes of soldiers' lives include the Battle of the Somme and Gallipoli. These, and other battles like Verdun, spelled the end of the belief that "dulce et decorum est pro patria mori" (It is good and right to die for one's country.)|||The whole b-l-o-o-dy event really

Why do ethnic minorities face discrimation and mistreatment in Turkey?

Turks have committed atrocities against their ethnic minorities including Armenians and Kurds. The first genocide of the 20 th century was the Armenian genocide committed by Ottoman Turks. Armenians were foced out of their homes and they were deported to Syrian desert but many Armenians lost their lives. Women ,children and men were starved and tortured. Ottoman Turk officials planned this crime against humanity and made a pretext and excuse for referring to their national security. Ottoman Turks released criminals from their prisons mainly those who were in jail for murder. This was one example of how Turks treated their ethnic minority then I will mention Kurds who face discrimination in Turkey. Kurds cannot celebrate their own holidays without being monitored by Turkish police and Turks suppressed Kurds till to date. There is no real freedom of expression in Turkey. Please remember what happened to Mr. Hrant Dink Turkish/Armenian journalist who was shot dead by an ultranationalist|||NEWS: 3 christians killed in Turkey in Bible publishing office.

Why do Republicans consider the mistreatment of US Army soldiers a "political issue to be dealt with"?

Bush sends young men and women to invade Iraq based on his lies,, but if they happen to loose an arm or a leg over there,, doesn't his party, the GOP consider that to be, "An Inconvient Truth"?|||Republicans had control of all three branches of the government for a long time.
