ইতিহাসবিদ সুমন্ত ব্যানার্জী ‘গুলাগ’ সম্বন্ধে বলেছেন – It’s about time that we rescue the Bengali Leftist mindset from its blind devotion to Stalin and some of his policies (which resulted in some of the worst crimes against humanity - the Siberian prison camps being one, which probably provided the present USA a model to run its Guantanamo prison camp to incarcerate suspected terrorists). Looking forward to a socialist system that rejects a Gulag or a Pol Pot type experiment in ‘killing fields’.
