Yes it was. On paper. And maybe the first one tried to be. Be the 1930 they were designed to mine, chop, place rails and so on. With an impressive death rate and population.
I think you're confusing "taiga gulags" with "sharashka" or lagry near western USSR part if you think it was anything but slave labour camps in general.
I wonder what was happening on the Western Front that creates the conditions for more brutal labor camps? Could it have been widespread fascism, Operation Gladio, Nazi and Nazi sympathizers, and bourgeois nationalistic anti-communism?
Or is it, as you say, just the moral failing of a morally and intellectually inferior people?
