Because a complex subject like [[Gulag]], with so much propaganda from both
sides, requires intensive non-web research. Optimally, there would be a table
with the different estimates and the attribution to the different sources,
followed by discussion of their methodology. A detailed comparison with the
Nazi concentration camps would also be necessary.  I'm more than busy enough
with Hypatia and the Library of Alexandria, although I may try to improve the
current version somewhat.

Regards,

Erik
