Reviews

memorial Museum of Tomsk NKVD

Initially, many tourists are skeptical about visiting such establishments. Because the bypass cultural attractions should be fun and carry a positive. And what could be nice to visit a prison?

But once you step into the Museum of the NKVD (Tomsk), as all conventional stereotypes are completely destroyed. This place fascinates from the first seconds. Many people say that more interesting and exciting excursions they have not visited.

The Museum is very easy to reach from any point of Tomsk, as it is in the heart of the city.

The Prison, which today are the main exhibits of the Museum, preserved almost intact. This further plunges into a special atmosphere terrible time of repression. Between the halls, cameras there is a corridor, which also presents many interesting exhibits.

The First hall – room in which the investigator worked. A standard set of furniture, a window under the bars, cigarettes and a decanter. When you log into the camera covers many eerie feeling. Mannequin investigator also does not cause positive emotions, but the view is breathtaking.

Before the eyes immediately pop up images as miserable prisoners were left alone with the representative of justice, and what emotions they felt, knowing their fate.

On the table are somepresent criminal case. Those who know anything about forensics, I can conclude that in those days, a full investigation was not carried out.

The Reasons for arrests were not, they were not motivated, but almost all prisoners, was imposed one sentence – to shoot.

Among the prisoners of the prison were poets, writers, and other public figures. Many photos, documents and even personal belongings of the famous poet Nikolai Klyuev presented on a separate stand. The poet was executed for propaganda against the Soviets, as well as writing anti-revolutionary works.

The Walls of the prison has seen many tragic events. It smells cold and horror. The whole atmosphere plunges into depression, shock and even cause anxiety.

In another cell you can see the cross, lined with photos of prisoners. More than 23,000 innocent people met their death. Among them are teachers, writers, poets, scientists, physicians, military officers.

The Most difficult to understand – the third hall. Here directly were prisoners.

Take the stress from what he saw in the cozy Park, located right outside the Museum. There are many benches and paths for walking. But some of the monuments in the Park is still reminiscent of the terrible time of persecution and repression.
