Imagine Allied troops capturing the gulags in their heyday, everthing being photographed, filmed and broadcast to the entire world along with the stories of the surviving victims.

Toll? Its ironic you should say that Mr. Kettle.
I deliberately drew the comparison to way nazi concentration camps were liberated by the WW2 allies, but that was only to illustrate the point of my post, which you obviously missed.
Go back and reread: "
Perhaps it was because the USSR was not totally defeated in a bitter world war it had started at the height of their most dastardly acts."
The USSR obviously did not start or prosecute a "bitter world war" therefore did not have their crimes uncovered by a victorious wartime enemy who already had a darn good reason to dislike them intensely.
However, don't you think that if the Soviet gulags or the Katyn forrest had been uncovered in the same manner as the nazi concentration camps and murders were brought to the worlds attention, that world feeling against the Soviets would match that of the nazis as Damo has asked?
