Perm-36 is a memorial museum to Soviet repressions on the site of the world's only preserved gulag camp, part of a vast prison system that interned million of Soviet citizens over several decades. Local historians who founded the museum have been replaced at the helm by a state organization. The ousted historians now fear the change of management means Soviet crimes will be whitewashed.
