Moscow's GULAG History Museum Closed Due to 'Fire Safety Violations'

Museum Dedicated to Victims of Soviet Repression Under Scrutiny

Authorities Cite Safety Concerns as Museum Temporarily Shuts Down

The GULAG History Museum in Moscow has been temporarily closed due to alleged fire safety violations, raising concerns about the state of the museum and its mission to preserve the memory of Soviet repression.

The museum, which opened in 2015, is dedicated to preserving the history of the Gulag, the vast network of forced labor camps established by the Soviet Union during the Stalin era. It houses a vast collection of artifacts, documents, and personal stories related to the Gulag, providing a poignant reminder of the suffering endured by millions of victims.

However, the museum has recently come under fire from authorities. In a statement, the Moscow city prosecutor's office said that the museum had violated fire safety regulations, including failing to install a fire alarm system and not having adequate fire extinguishers. The museum has been ordered to close temporarily until these issues are resolved.
