70 years have passed since one of the most tragic uprisings in the Gulag
June 27, 2024 | Virtual museum
On Wednesday, June 26, we commemorated the anniversary of the suppression of the Kengir Uprising, one of the largest and most tragic in the history of the Gulag. Exactly 70 years ago, Soviet tanks literally crushed the rebellion of men and women imprisoned in the Gulag in the territory of today's Kazakhstan. On this occasion, we published in our virtual museum an article that describes the events based on the memories of witnesses as well as the results of our archaeological and documentation activities right on the spot during our expedition to Kazakhstan.
