also, the Nazis not only had concentration camps but extermination camps and death camps as well. and there only purpose was to soley and specifically kill Jews and other people.
The gulag system was very similar. Of the over 400 camps, there were some which held prisoners who would eventually be released and there were some where people were sent to die. The only real difference is that the Chief Administration of Collective Labor was a much larger organization, which also handled smaller scale offenses that would not have been administered through the camp system in Germany. Make no mistake; the Gulags were used as a tool by the Soviet government for genocide.


the Nazis were planning a Final Solution to the Jewish problem in which they intended to hunt down and wipe out every single Jew from the face of the earth, and the camps was one of there means of doing this. I know that the Russians on purpose killed alot of ethnic minorities but, correct me if I am wrong, did the Russians want to wipe all of these minorities from existence, or did they just eliminate them because they just happen to be in Russia or its territories?
There are dozens of ethnic groups that once comprised millions of people in the Soviet Union that simply do not exist anymore - anywhere. Every man, woman, and child was eliminated. Luckily Stalin died before the Doctor's Plot could be put into practice, which would have been the Soviet Union's final solution to years of Jewish persecution.


in the case of Germany though, they wanted all Jews gone, not only in Europe, but everywhere else on earth too, and they wanted to accomplish this by all means.
Not really.

that's one of the reasons why the holocaust is such a big deal. also, did the Russians have an entire process or procedure set up in which to kill people like the Nazis had?
Yes. Although like everything in the Soviet Union, it was crude.

so, Nazi death and extermination camps were probably worse and more horrific than Russian camps.
It depends on the camps in question. If you are referring to the Siberian death camps, then you are categorically wrong.
