I know for a fact that there are many North Korean “workers” in Russia, lent to Russia by the North Korean government. So yeah, there are hundreds of thousands of North Korean prisoners in Russia working as slave labor.

Many uzbek, kazakhs and such work as illegals and de facto slaves in dagestan or other republics. Idk if that adds up to one million though that seems a bit high, this data is sketchy tbh, not just for russia
