A top Kremlin propagandist has claimed that Soviet gulags were better than Nazi concentration camps on Russian state television. Julia Davis, a columnist for The Daily Beast and the creator of the Russian Media Monitor, shared the clip on Twitter on Saturday, where it has since amassed more than 250,000 views. Alongside it, Davis wrote that the “latest propaganda assignment seems to be ‘Everything is better in Russia.’ “Propagandists are taking turns giving examples. Without a hint of irony, host Vladimir Solovyov explained why Soviet Gulags were better than German concentration camps.”
