 ID as female, get to the women’s gulag.  
 I have a funny feeling that the womens gulag is going to be full of men, if I hold strong there might be a better chance that all of the women are thinking two moves ahead and will identifying as men to get into the mens gulag, which ironically will have only one man, me, because all of the other men identified as women to get into the womens gulag.

It's kind of a Benny Hill situation.

 You don't want beef in a gulag situationit could be misconstrued:

"Hey that guy said he has beef, wanna fuck him up?"

 A good, battery powered angle grinder is modern shit that I never had around when creating mayhem way back then… 
 If you mean Britain, I would argue the USSR was 10 times saner. 
Don't remember Stalin trying to replace Russians with niggers and pajeets.
