22.05.06 Yesterday Walter Ruge visited Krasnoyarsk on his way to Igarka. In the past Ruge worked for the Comintern. He became a victim of reprisals. He served his sentence and later the time of his compulsory settlement in camps of the Construction Project No. 503. He visited objects of interest in Krasnoyarsk, among them some relating to the sad chapters of history: the memorial stone in memory of the victims of political reprisals and the Church of Holy Nikolai. Exactly in this place was located the former transit camp, from where he was taken to Yermakovo in 1948.

27.04.06 Viktor Shenderovich: „ ... Time clears everything up, and the outlines of the future emerge from the mists sparkling in all colours. The situation becomes evident by the creeping but constant abolition of political life, an oppressed opposition and some purposeful rhetoric from the left in combination with an iron hand. All this, gentlemen, needs a persisting pattern, a recurrent form, doesn’t it?
The whole situation is gradually taking shape, it crops up and goes like clockwork – and it does not happen for the first time.
In the district of Turukhansk, Krasnoyarsk territory, they are on the point of rebuilding Stalin’s Pantheon. This item was already discussed on the occasion of a round-table conference about the prospects of tourism within the region. It was confirmed that this is a purely commercial project, just planned to attract tourists.
To hell with it! What, if it suddenly occurred to the Germans to put up a memorial to the honour of Hitler? The tourists will come in crowds for sure! One should propose to Mrs. Merkel, who is just attending the Summit in the town called Leningrad in earlier times: why not make common course and develop tourism jointly?”

"My ancestors, both German and Russian, died at the hands of Josef Stalin and his comrades. They were not political people but like millions of other victims, simply family men trying to live a decent life.
I am grateful to Memorial, which has found the record of what happened to my grandfather. He was sentenced to the GULAG, and never returned to his family.
Stalin murdered millions of people, and he did this year after year for decades. I cannot imagine erecting any kind of memorial to this evil man. It would be an insult to those who survived to bear witness as well as those who died.
As a foreigner, I might visit these areas to honor the victims, to remember my ancestors and to support the efforts of those who seek the tell the truth about those times. But never to visit a memorial to Stalin.
