The Russian prison system is to reintroduce forced labor in 2017, the TASS news agency reported Tuesday.
Speaking in an interview with the news agency, Deputy Director of Russia’s Federal Penitentiary Service, Valery Maximenko, said that four new correctional centers and seven other facilities would open in January next year.
Maximenko said that that authorities had studied “the best aspects of the Soviet experience.”

I didn't say it's wrong to criticise them as an amerifat because it's hypocritical, just that it's hypocritical.

The system described in the article don't seem all that different to me, mate. To me it sounds exactly the same as what is described in the Wikipedia article i linked.
Fun fact: Russian and Ukrainian prisons are the biggest source of antibiotic-resistant TBC in Eastern Europe

They already did. My friend was arrested in Russia in 2011 and he has being doing forced labor in a prison.
The Gulag Archipelago is an interesting, if very long, read.
The west had no idea about the extent of DALSTROY / NKVD until the late 60s.
My favorite are the camps in Kolyma, especially Butugychag. Mining uranium ore by hand, hoping to freeze to death before the radiation sickness killed you. Only to have the camp doctors tear your body apart afterwards, then toss it down a mineshaft or a shallow grave.
All because someone didn't like the music you played or how you looked. Pretty intense

this "gulag literature" is just Solzhenitsyn, who's fantasy book americans took as history and facts.

it's the same.
Only difference is about private sector.

Dostoevsky wrote "House of the Dead" which was inspired by his labor camp experience in Siberia.
