The Gulag Museum

The Gulag Museum, located in Moscow, Russia, commemorates the Soviet Union's forced labor camp system known as the Gulag, which operated from the 1930s to the 1950s. These camps imprisoned millions of people for political reasons, dissent, or alleged crimes. The museum showcases exhibits featuring personal stories, photographs, and artifacts, aiming to educate visitors about the harsh realities of life in the camps and the impact on society. It serves as a somber reminder of the human rights abuses that occurred during this period, promoting reflection on freedom and the importance of protecting individual rights.
