You just accused the President of the United States of lying.

I think that's only Soviet ones, not modern Russian.

With the same success, I can classify all tyutms and colonies in Britain and the USA as concentration camps.
The list below, enumerates the selected sites of the Soviet forced labor camps (known in Russian as the "corrective labor camps") of the Gulag. Most of them served mining, construction, and timber works. It is estimated that for most of its existence, the Gulag system consisted of over 30,000 camps, divided into three categories according to the number of prisoners held. The largest camps consisted of more than 25,000 prisoners each, medium size camps held from 5,000 to 25,000 inmates, and the smallest, but most numerous labor camps operated with less than 5,000 people each.[1] Even this incomplete list can give a fair idea of the scale of forced labor in the USSR.
The first concentration camp after the Bolshevik coup of 1917 in Russia was established on the Solovetsky Islands on the initiative of the State Security Commissioner Gleb Bokiy on October 13, 1923, to the fate of the Solovetsky Monastery, which was closed in 1920. It was intended for "socially alien elements". Subsequently a network of concentration camps covered the whole country. In total, more than 18 million people were sent to the Gulag from 1929 to 1953.[3]
Russians don't like to scare anyone. They are just warning.

Do you consider your interpretation of the facts higher than the interpretation of the US President? To health. I hope psychiatry is sufficiently developed in your country.

By the way, in the USA there were concentration camps for the Japanese, and the first concentration camps were created by the British in Africa.

His mouth was moving, yes? These men are paid to lie, expected to lie. They got into office by lying.
You misunderstand. I'm saying that you seem to think it is taboo to say that the president is a liar. Because in the Russian mentality your president is infallible, similar to the pope. But we don't think like that in most other countries.

I said exactly what the President of the United States said. They called me a liar, but they gave only their anonymous opinion in response. Which of us is more appropriate?
