Here's another example, regarding a new book published by someone who managed to survive a particular situation, institutions for the handicapped in Russia.
It has been decribed by one critic thusly, "This book is today's 'Gulag Archipelago,' a plea to ordinary people not to close themselves off to the truth and reality."

No, but we do need to recognize the bias built into the system and compensate for it as much as we are able. To bring it home, many millions are incarcerated here in the United States in our own "Gulag". To the extent posible, those who have some contact and knowledge of this situation need to present "their side" of the story.
