Bear in remembrance

The Krasnoyarsk „Memorial“ Organization, which is dealing with the restoration of historic
memory and the commemoration of the victims of political repressions, celebrated its 20th anniversary. Over the years, the organization managed to trace and publish the names of more than 70000 individuals, who were sentenced on the basis of section 58, which gained notoriety.

In close cooperation with regional administration, archival agency, regional FSB authority, GUVD and the Public Prosecutors, “Memorial” issued five volumes of the “Book of Memory – in commemoration of the victims of political repressions in the Krasnoyarsk Territory”. The organization puts annual exhibitions dedicated to the history of political repressions, its representatives regularly hold lectures in schools and colleges. By the aid and intervention of
the “Memorial” organization, dozens of victims of repressions get their rehabilitation certificate and compensation for confiscated property.

“Memorial’s” archival holdings comprise ten thousands of inventories and files, the contents of which are continuously being published on a special website. Not only once this website became the laureate of an all-Russian competition. In the first decade of March “Memorial” does not only celebrate the 20th anniversary of the organization, but, at the same time, the 10th anniversary of the existence of its presence on the internet.
