Forever love how the most common pic used to represent gulags is from Muppets: Most Wanted (2014) and has Kermit being wheeled out if you look closely (obscured by center guy’s head)
Real answer: In the movie, Kermit has a doppelganger who is a Russian supervillain named Constantine. Constantine escapes from the gulag at the start of the movie, finds Kermit and takes his place while letting Kermit get captured by the police, the police believing Kermit to be his evil doppelganger. That’s how he ends up in the gulag.
Fun fact: That’s where this meme template comes from. Muppets: Most Wanted is a great movie tbh, you should watch it. It has Ricky Gervais in it but it’s really funny even in spite of that.

I’m now going to just refer to Bezos as center guy
I couldn’t tell who he was from that angle lmao
I thought it was the dopey buzzard from Looney Tunes
I’ll always love The Muppets though. Muppet Christmas Carol is a legit touching movie.
Why was kermit in the gulag?

because of his relationship with a pig
Tough but fair
They asked why he was gulag’d not why he was prime minister of Britain
He was mistaken for his criminal overlord doppelgänger Constantine (who had recently escaped said gulag)
That’s why this article by Anne Applebaum is one of my favourites. Absolutely lazy.
