If you want to learn about Stalin's Russia, read the excellent autobiographical work by Yugoslav Communist Ante Ciliga's The Russian Enigma.
Stalin DID have a ring of prisons for political prisoners, and most of the people there were revolutionaries, either Social Revolutionaries (SR), Anarchists or some brand of socialism (Bolsheviks, Mensheviks, Trotskites...). Reading communists is a better source than trusting the CIA — he subtooted.
