#1 MVD were and are the border guards. At one time as numerous as the Red Army, though not as heavy with armor. Not sure how much of the camps they guarded. KGB also had untis for this purpose. MVD used to provide the guards at the Kremlin.

BTW, did the non-communist Russians ever close the gulags? I don't recall hearing that they did.
