A new film and website mapping Soviet repressions in Kazakhstan
January 18, 2024 | Expedition Kazakhstan
The Soviet terror left an indelible mark in today’s Kazakhstan. More than one million Kazakhs died of famine and millions of other people were deported to the country’s barren steppes from all over the then Soviet Union. Among others, the repressions also hit hundreds of Czechs and Czechoslovak citizens. An expedition of the Gulag.cz team set out to map the remnants of the Gulag camps and the stories of their victims. A new documentary film and a new dedicated website are the outcome of the expedition.
