Description

Visit one of the most popular museums in Moscow – the Gulag history museum. During this tour, you’ll have a detailed look at the history of mass repression, forced labor, and the lack of political freedom in the USSR.

Languages available: French, English, Spanish, Italian (choice during check-out)

The Gulag History Museum was founded in 2001 by Anton V. Antonov-Ovseyenko - a famous historian, publicist and public figure, who passed himself through Stalin's camps just because he was the son of "an enemy of the Nation".

Your visit through the central exposition of the museum will give you essential information on the Soviet forced-labor camps, commonly called Gulag. You’ll explore the history and evolution of the Gulag, from the necessary conditions to its creation in 1930s to its closure in 1950s, after Stalin's death. Thus, you’ll understand the most disastrous consequences of the USSR’s repressive policy. You’ll also learn about the role of the Gulag, whether about administration or economy in the USSR. The museum mainly aims to shine a light on this dark page of history, so that we would not rewrite the errors of the past.

In the course of the tour, you will see items linked to the fate of people who became prisoners of the Gulag camps, a number of them dying in detention. In particular, you’ll observe findings from contemporary expeditions to the places of activity of the former labor camps in different regions of Russia and former USSR.

This tour is a must do during your stay in Moscow, if you want to know more about life and politics in the USSR, the reality of what Gulag was and about the victims of the USSR ruthless repressive policy.

Definitely one of the best museums in Moscow. A lot of content is displayed there, so visiting with Anna was a real plus. Her explanations were very clear, but having her point of view and opinion on the information provided by the museum was the really advantage of taking the tour with her. Thank you Anna!

Born in Czech Republic in 1989, visiting Moscow was something very special for me. I dind't know this museum when planning my trip, but I discovered it on Trip Advisor once here. The tour was great. All the explanations by the guide were relevant and added a true value to the tour, rather than visiting the museum on our own. I recommend the tour to anyone who is interested in Soviet Times and who wants to learn more about this period of the history.
