In this episode of Incredible, Not Credible: A History, Kelly and Marlee explore the (not all in-compassing) history of gulags, and the Wall Street Bombing of 1920. Turns out, the gulags weren't quite what the Muppets made them out to be and a bombing in 1920 wasn’t nearly enough to prevent people from going to work the very next day. Lesson? Never trust an unattended wagon or a dictator.
