I think Mueller is likely going back to Trump's extensive ties to the Russian Mob, which go back to the 80's as Craig Unger writes about in House of Trump/House of Putin.
There is some descriptions of interrogation and conditions in the Gulag. It's central to Solzhenitsyn work in The Gulag Archipelago. Solzhenitsyn was sent to the Gulag as a deserter IIRC, or a collaborator, I can't remember offhand.
If you honestly want to know then that's the book to read. There is a good and a bad translation. Whitney is the good translation
I have not read all of these. Hopeful this will be a good excuse to start some of them sooner. Hopefully it is not too late to post in this thread.
The Cabal is a multinational secret organization and professor Dr. Antony C. Sutton has demonstrated in his work that the US helped to built the Soviet Union with Western technology! The goal is a world government, dividing the world into two apparently fighting blocks, east and west was a milestone on the way!

It doesn't matter if you've worked for KGB or CIA, in the background the secret societies pull the strings ...
It would not surprise me if both Red and Katarina worked for The Cabal, directly or indirectly!
The book is not available in English. There's a Wikipedia page describing it, and somebody is selling a crappy auto-translated version on Amazon.
Looking on Amazon, I did find an English-language book about the author of "Foundations of Geopolitics" (not "fundamentals"): ""The American Empire Should Be Destroyed": Alexander Dugin and the Perils of Immanentized Eschatology"
For Neo-Eurasianism, there's Dmitry Shlapentokh's Russia Between East and West, Marlene Maruelle's Russian Eurasianism: An Ideology of Empire, and lastly, but definitely not the least, James Haiser's "The American Empire Should Be Destroyed": Alexander Dugin and the Perils of Immanentized Eschatology. These are critical works but these describe Eurasianism accurately. Dugin himself released this introductory book, Eurasian Mission: An Introduction to Neo-Eurasianism.
For the European New Right, there's Manifesto for a European Renaissance and Beyond Human Rights by Alain de Benoist and Against Democracy and Equality: The European New Right and Homo Americanus: Child of the Postmodern Age by Tomislav Sunić.
Lastly, heed necommentpas's recommendation. Read any work of Sayyid Qutb.
To be honest with you, these works make me sick. I hope you'll feel the same too.
I didn't call protecting the marginalised as degradation to society.

My point is that just because you view the controls of free thought and speech as a form of cultural protectionism as a positive i do not. It would not take much to take this type of legislation and control to the next level. To control descent and ideas. To stop or even reverse the progress society has made in the last 100 years. Just because it's used to promote the worthy and good now doesn't mean it always will be.

Edit:Do yourself a favour and buy a copy of this book. Read the recent history of controlling speech speech and thought. See where it can end up.
