    That’s just a bit more than 5m people. Russia has plenty of free space in GULAGs to house 5m people.

      Russia doesn’t have a GULAG system.

      If 5m is too little, make it a 10% (15m) then. Most of the army/security forces are currently engaged in Ukraine.

        Not officially, but a lot of Soviet camps are still operational. Creating new ones won’t be a big issue. Russian government has plenty of experience.

          Well, that would be a good opportunity for Russians to revolt. But I think they’re just fine with the current system.
