A Museum With a Mission: Chronicling the History of the Gulag
The Gulag Museum, which began as the passionate vocation of historian
and camp survivor Anton Antonov-Ovseyenko in 2001, has just moved
from its small, cramped space on Ulitsa Petrovka to a large building
reconstructed especially for it.
Here visitors come face-to-face with the dark pages in Soviet history.
But here, too, they learn how the human spirit can survive even in the
worst conditions.
