Sports and theatres may have indeed been common amenities in the labour camps, but that does not mean that they made them ‘nice’; only that they made life more tolerable for the inmates and that the Soviet authorities probably were not the inhumane savages that the ruling class wants everybody to believe. Call me a pedant if you want, but I am not the one who brought it up.

Anti-communist both think gulags are the most evil thing ever, but wish the worse conditions on prisoners possible

It's because they view prisoners in the US as "deserving" the harshest punishments possible for being evil "criminals", but they cannot imagine that someone in a Soviet prison actually deserved to be sent to prison because they committed an actual crime, in their minds, every single person in a gulag was a 100% innocent "political prisoner"
