Video Tour of Perm 36 Camp
Description
Take a tour of the restored camp at the Perm 36 Gulag Museum in Perm, Russia. Filmed in December 2006, the footage begins with an overview of the main camp: a wooden barrack built in 1946 (the oldest building at the museum), a tree alley planted by prisoners in 1948, the outhouse, the infirmary, the solitary, and a panorama of the camp. The end of the video shows the second, high security “special treatment detention block” built in the 1970s, including a pit at the entrance to check underneath the cars for stowaways, the barbed-wire fence, and the barracks.
