Krasnoyarsk: In the village of Tugach, a museum was opened at the site

In the village of Tugach in the Sayansky district of the Krasnoyarsk Territory, the "Museum in the Open" was opened right on the site of the Tugachinsky branch of Kraslag. It was created by the descendants of prisoners and camp employees.

The local camp point was designed for 1800 people - this is three times more than the current population of the village. Now in Tugach there are descendants of prisoners and former Kraslag employees. Together, they recreate the history of the village, located in it of the camp point, the biography of prisoners. The initiators of this work several years ago were the daughter of an employee of Kraslag and the daughter -in -law of the prisoner, who was sitting in the same camp where her father worked, Lyudmila Miller and the head of the Tugachinsky village council, daughter and granddaughter of prisoners, Tamara Petrov. I had to search for information by bit: it was almost impossible to get them through official channels. Now the collected materials have become the basis for the exposure of the "open -air museum".

According to the chairman of the Krasnoyarsk Society "Memorial" Alexei Babiya, this is the first experience of the Gulag object in the Krasnoyarsk Territory: "The most important thing that happened" from below "was made by the hands of the Tugachiki themselves." The museum contains documents related to the biographies of the prisoners of the Tugachinsky branch of Kraslag, household items, clothing. There are camps of the camp, a map of Kraslag. According to the drawings, the huts of the camp point were restored.

Two years ago, the inhabitants of Tugach installed a memorable cross in the cemetery, where they buried the prisoners. Prior to this, the boundaries of the cemetery were not accurately determined - the Tugachins put it in order.
