Gulag Museum at Perm-36

Not long ago in Russia there were more prison camps than villages; millions of prisoners were forced to work on the “great building grounds of socialism,” building plants, factories and pits, railways and bridges, mines and irrigation canals.

Known as the gulag, the system of prison camps symbolized, for 70 years, the repressive and totalitarian political system of the Soviet Union.

Mission

The Gulag Museum at Perm-36 is dedicated to promoting democratic values and civil consciousness in contemporary Russian society through the preservation of the last Soviet political camp as a vivid reminder of repression, and an important historical and cultural monument.
