Description
One of several concept pages that I had for a condensed personal history book about the Gulag. Vlasov was one of those innumerable unfortunates who's remarkable past landed him within the clutches of the GPU, and ultimately the GULag Archipelago. The description and images go on for another page, describing the fate of Vlasov and his "Russian Liberation Army" (i.e., the Vlasovites), but this has yet to be colored. Source material was A. Solzhenitsyn's "The Gulag Archipelago" (Arkhipelag GULag).Related content

Wow! This stuff is pretty interesting and it's quite interesting to put a face on all the people from the GULag Archi, especially in this style, and to put all this info on one page. You really breathe life into the material.
You should make a history artbook with stuff like this.

Well, I have to credit you, at least unlike some of OTHER antirussian suckers of USA(and pro-USA) cocks you can actually draw.

Well, the stylings of Russian artists like Korin and Repin tend to help, not to mention classical works from Kustodiev, Yakov Smirnov, and Dill Tomatovich.
Yes, those antirussian suckers of USA cocks. Annoying, aren't they. Good thing they've decided to drop the ICBM network in Eastern Europe, thus dropping the Czechs and Poles into the benevolence of the Russian Federation's lap once more.

Vlasov was a bitch. Solzhenitsyn too.
P.S.: Vlasov never had shoulder straps as he betrayed Red Army BEFORE 1943.

Well, what can I say: Emo kids online apparently pull more historical weight than do anti-Soviet generals and Nobel Prize winners. But I digress...
P.S.; Thanks for the suggestion. I'll make sure to add them in along with the watchtowers and kolkhoz happiness in the background. Cheers.

Nobel Prize in Literature does not pull weight in historical knowledge.

You're right. Anonymous angst-fueled comments on dA tend to outweigh the actual experiences of of zeks with the then-MVD. What was I thinking anyhow.
BTW, good to see an upsurge in communist sympathizers once again. Was getting worried that the body count for the 21st Century was going to lag behind the 20th.

Coming from someone sporting a pseudo Che icon, I'm not surprised - communist supporters tend to be a bit short sighted when critiquing the faults of others.
