After the raider seizure of the Memorial Museum of the History of Political Repression “Perm-36” and the subsequent self-liquidation of the Autonomous non-profit Organization “Memorial Center for the History of Political Repression “Perm-36”, which created this museum, its board, management and leading employees continued their work as an informal initiative group “Memorial Center “Perm-36”. The work was focused primarily in the research, exhibition and exhibition and project areas. It was a work on the study of the history of political repression in the USSR, the history of the GULAG and the history of Perm political camps. Databases “Prisoners of Perm political camps”, “Chronicle of extraordinary events of Perm political camps” are being developed and updated. Books “Perm-36″ have been written and published. Prehistory” and “Perm-36: Chronicle of New Repressions”, which continued the museum series “Topography of Terror – the History of Political repression”. Work continues on the reference book “Perm political camps”. Within the framework of the project “Civil Seasons”Perm Memorial Days” in 2015-2020, new exhibitions were built and exhibited. In continuation of the traditions of the International Civil Forum “Pilorama”, concerts of the author’s civil song and poetry readings were held, new performances were shown, new documentaries were shown, round tables, discussions, lectures and meetings, presentations of new books were held.
Site “GULAG. History of one camp” is devoted to the history of Perm-36, the last political zone of the Soviet Union, and the Public Museum, which was created on the remains of this zone by a group of enthusiasts.
Nowadays the museum with all its collections, archives, expositions and exhibitions is seized by the officials from the Ministry of Culture of Perm region.
This project is an attempt to create a universal model of a museum, which exists only in the virtual space and enables almost all kinds of activities of a real museum: scientific, educational, expo-exhibition and excursion.
The initiator of the creation of this resource was the International Coalition of Museums of Conscience, created in 1999, one of the founders of which was the Public Museum “Perm 36”.
