Russia cannot become socialist again because it never was socialist. It's official regime was "communism", but there was very little socialist about it in the way Europe is doing it now.

This is disrespectful to common sense.
The number of people KILLED in the mentioned Gulags is in the millions. The total number of killed by the regime is estimated as ~~20 million people. The number of people imprisoned in the US is just a bit north of a million.
Having a mass murderer on a picture and trying to picture it as "wasn't as bad as the US now" is distasteful. Have self-respect, spend effort and verify the numbers. Think critically about the picture you're thinking to upvote.
P.S. I'm not a US citizen or resident. In terms of freedoms, both the Soviet Union was terrible, and a lot of the events happening in the US right now are terrible.
