That’s a very large conclusion to reach from one person’s completely undetailed single statement.
It shouldn’t be, because it’s a work of fiction.

That’s a rather paltry article to link to declare “fiction”, based solely on his ex-wife. From wikipedia -
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Gulag_Archipelago
It’s not “100% accurate, detailed notes from one man’s point of view”, but this book is widely acknowledged to be a nonfiction account, even if many of the tales & details are anecdotal and not verifiable.
