  • I Was Born 1954, Next Year After Tyrant's Death
    Hall 1. CASE A I was born in 1954, next year after tyrant’s death. Government’s bulletins about dying Stalin having “Chain- Stocks” breathing gave the hope to my parent’s generation that they will breathe more freely. Yet “Archipelago GULAG” did not vanish completely. Three of our family got first hand experience in 70’s-80’s of what it is to be a prisoner of conscience. First my father, then my wife and I. Then the wall was broken, communist party and Soviet Union ceased to exist, criminal code was changed and article 70 we were charged by removed, special political labor camps were closed and former prisoners rehabilitated. Once again there was a hope that GULAG is dead. Once again this hope has been proven to be wrong. There are political prisoners in Putin’s Russia. These are people imprisoned because of government’s political reasons. The country, its rulers and prisoners, the life itself is very different, but prison does not change much. In 1992 I had a rare opportunity to tour Russian prisons and labor camps - this time as a photographer, not as prisoner. Most of the pictures on this exhibit are from that trip. These pictures and artifacts would allow you to glance at one island of the archipelago so to speak. Overhung: Door into solitary confinement cell. My wife spent many days behind it. Books GULAG HISTORY BY APPLEBAUM, MY TESTIMONY BY A.MARCHENKO Books and dissemination of information and opinions in general were by far the most common reasons for political imprisonment during 60’s – 80’s.
