Perm 36
History of Russia in the 20th century is full of curious features, cruel milestones, and remarkable events, some of which never happened anywhere else in the world.
The Soviet forced-labor camp system of Stalin Era known as the Gulag is notorious for its victims. A lot of convicts, from petty criminals to political prisoners, suffered there. One of such camps was located near the village of Kuchino, 120 km northeast of the city of Perm. It's mostly known as The Museum of the History of Political Repression Perm-36.
