Estimates suggest that millions of people were held in the Soviet Gulag system at various times, with figures typically ranging from 14 million to over 20 million individuals incarcerated between the 1930s and 1950s. The Gulags were labor camps used for political prisoners, criminals, and various other groups deemed undesirable by the Soviet regime. Many detainees faced harsh conditions, forced labor, and high mortality rates. The exact numbers remain uncertain due to incomplete records and the secretive nature of the Soviet government.
