The Russian gulag system was primarily established under the regime of Vladimir Lenin following the Russian Revolution of 1917. However, it was Joseph Stalin who significantly expanded and institutionalized the network of forced labor camps during the 1930s as part of his broader campaign of political repression and industrialization. The gulags became a tool for suppressing dissent and exploiting labor in the Soviet Union.
