Russia’s Gulag Museum Faces Uncertain Future
Perm-36 is a memorial museum to Soviet repressions on the site of the world's only preserved gulag camp. Local historians who founded the museum have been replaced at the helm by a state organization. The ousted historians now fear the change of management means Soviet crimes will be whitewashed.

German Army Liberated Russia from Communist horror 1941
Every time on 9. may we must listen that Red Army liberated Baltic States. How it can be liberation if Red Army occupied us during 50 years? They kill us, deport us to the Siberia and sending to the GULAG. 1940-41 soviets have killed 10x more people than germans during 1941-1944. So what is liberation anyway? Let watch this film...

For our region it's a big event. According to the documents it was Stalin's only visit to the front. And it happened in this region. Here this museum tells about the events that happened near the city of Rzhev during the days of the Great Patriotic War (Russian term for World War Two) and about the events that happened at the Rzhevsko-Vyazemsky bridgehead where Nazis ruled for almost 14 months. And here everywhere around, as Mikhail Ivanovich Nozhkin (a Soviet actor and writer) said, great, tough and long battles were happening.

Each of us wants our state to be strong. And I always ask the following question: Can a strong state be ruled by a week president, a week head of the state? It can't be that way. So that the government became strong, the head of state has also to be smart, strong and sometimes even tough. Because today the current situation demands that. And in the time when Joseph Stalin ruled the country, the situation demanded this 100 times more.

We had the gulag. We had other mistakes. People were punished. But our soldiers went into the attack. They were rising for the motherland, for Stalin. And that happened in this region. He is a kind of a flag which lead us to the victory. And he may have had mistakes, but we know them, and our pupils know about these mistakes. We tell them about them, we are not hiding them. And we also say about the glory he brought to us.

STORYLINE:
As the 137th anniversary of the birth of Josef Stalin is marked on Friday, the retelling of the former Soviet leader's triumphs have become increasingly fashionable during troubled times in Russia.
A bust of Stalin stands outside a house-turned-museum in the village of Khoroshevo, in the Tver region, where he is said to have stayed the night on his only visit to the front during World War Two.
Groups of students look around the two-room building where Stalin strategised with his generals in August 1943 as the Red Army battled to drive out the Nazi troops.

A glimpse of the Lublianka, Moscow
twitter : @ceepackaging
The Lubianka building dominates part of the centre of Moscow and is located very close to the Kremlin and Red Square.
The Lubyanka was originally built in 1898 as the Neo-Baroque headquarters of the All-Russia Insurance Company, noted for its beautiful parquet floors and pale green walls. Belying its massiveness, the edifice avoids an impression of heroic scale: isolated Palladian and Baroque details, such as the minute pediments over the corner bays and the central loggia, are lost in an endlessly-repeating classicizing palace facade, where three bands of cornices emphasize the horizontal lines. A clock is centered in the uppermost band of the facade.
Following the Bolshevik Revolution, the structure was seized by the government for the headquarters of the secret police, then called the Cheka. In Soviet Russian jokes it was referred to as the tallest building in Moscow, since Siberia could be seen from its basement. Another joke referred to the building as Adult's World as compared to Children's World, the name of the popular toy store across the street.
During the Great Purge, the offices became increasingly cramped due to staff numbers. In 1940 Aleksey Shchusev was commissioned to double its size by adding another storey and engulfing backstreet buildings. Shchusev's design accentuated Neo-Renaissance detailing, but only the left part of the facade was reconstructed under his direction in the 1940s, due to the war and other hindrances. This asymmetric facade survived intact until 1983, when the symmetry was restored at the urging of Yuri Andropov in accordance with Shchusev's plans.
Although the Soviet secret police changed its name many times, its headquarters remained in this building. Secret police chiefs from Lavrenty Beria to Yuri Andropov used the same office on the third floor, which looked down on the statue of Cheka founder Felix Dzerzhinsky. A prison at the ground floor of the building figures prominently in Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn's classic study of the Soviet police state, The Gulag Archipelago. Famous inmates held, tortured and interrogated there include Sidney Reilly, Raoul Wallenberg, János Esterházy and Walter Ciszek.
After the dissolution of the KGB, the Lubyanka became the headquarters of the Border Guard Service of Russia, and houses the Lubyanka prison and one directorate of the Federal Security Service of the Russian Federation (FSB). In addition a museum of the KGB (now called Историко-демонстрационный зал ФСБ России) was opened to the public.
In 1990, the Solovetsky Stone was erected across from the Lubyanka to commemorate the victims of political repression.

There are a number of films here on the packaging industry. This is because I am the publisher of Central and Eastern European Packaging -- - the international platform for the packaging industry in this region focusing on the latest innovations, trends, design, branding, legislation and environmental issues with in-depth profiles of major industry achievers. Most people may think packaging pretty boring but it possibly effects your life more than you really imagine!
Central and Eastern European Packaging examines the packaging industry throughout this region, but in particular in the largest regional economies which are Russia, Germany, Poland, Czech Republic, Ukraine and Austria. That is not to say that the other countries are forgotten, they are not, but obviously there is less going on. However the fact that there are so many travel related films here is not from holidays but from business trips attending trade fairs around the region.
In 1997 I founded Polish Business News .There are a number of business related films here and I intend to do many more on CRM (customer relations management).

Remembering Solzhenitsyn: the chronicler of the Gulag
Thursday marks 90 years since the birth of the late Nobel Prize-winning author, Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn. He died this August at his home outside Moscow, leaving behind an enduring legacy.
The story of Solzhenitsyns life was one of survival. He lived through the horrors of Stalins labour camps, an assassination attempt, cancer, persecution and 20 years in exile.
If you look at his circumstances, you would see flashing red lights everywhere: impossible to survive! But he fought the regime and won. One person defeated the entire system, said actor Evgeny Mironov.
Solzhenitsyn was born in a small village in Russia in 1918 the same year that Bolsheviks executed the last Russian Tsar and his family.
Writing the Gulag Archipelago
He fought for his country in World War II but was sentenced to eight years in a labour camp for criticizing Stalin in a personal letter to a friend.
In prison he worked as a scientist, a miner and a bricklayer. But his mind was far away, creating and memorizing novels as 'One Day in The Life of Ivan Denisovich' and the Nobel-winning 'The First Circle'.
After his 'Gulag Archipelago' was published in the West, the authorities accused him of treason and expelled him from the Soviet Union. His wife, Natalya, says Solzhenitsyn was surprised that all he faced was exile.
We always understood that at any moment he could have been killed in a set-up car crash or something like that. Such practices were quite common at that time, she said. And there was an assassination attempt on him in 1971.
Exile in the United States
Rural Vermont in the United States became home for Solzhenitsyn, his wife and three sons.
The writer spent up to 15 hours a day working, but he always found time for his children.
Our kids were still very little, said Natalya Solzhenitsyna. When they went to his classes they would all gather at his study door, waiting and they wouldnt even think to be 30 seconds late, because they respected his time.
Seen as a beacon of freedom in the West, the writer never returned the praise it heaped upon him. Regarding the West as spiritually decadent, he criticized its democracy and even declined an invitation to dinner with U.S. President Ronald Reagan.
So the president invited him, there was a big reception and Solzhenitsyn said, Im sorry, Mr. President, but I dont have time for this. But if you want my advice on something, I would be glad to come and see you, said Yury Lubimov, a theatre director and close friend.
Homecoming
When the Soviet Union collapsed, Solzhenitsyn returned to Russia as a hero -- a prophet of the post-Soviet era. But the country he came back to was unknown to him.
Although the writer won a state medal for his achievements, he was never really in step in what he described as an increasingly Western and materialistic new Russia.
We should support and trust ordinary people but not the small group of status seekers, whose only aim is to get into power, he said.
Solzhenitsyn shunned the limelight and spent his last years quietly with his family.
He insisted that no monuments or museum be dedicated to him, and that his only legacy be his collection of works.
Gulag-Museum in Moskau
In der russischen Hauptstadt Moskau hat ein Museum eröffnet, dass sich dem Grauen der sowjetischen Arbeitslager, der sogenannten Gulags, widmet. Die Verbrechen der Sowjet-Zeit werden im heutigen Russland nicht mehr geleugnet, doch unter Wladimir Putin werden Stalins Sieg über Nazi-Deutschland und seine Verdienste um die Industrialisierung stärker in den Vordergrund gerückt. Umso wichtiger ist das Museum, sagen Besucher.

STORYLINE
Russians have gathered in a nationwide day of remembrance to commemorate their countrymen who died in Stalin's labour camps.
Authorities say more than 20 (m) million people suffered in purges under Vladimir Lenin and Joseph Stalin.
More than 10 (m) million of them died before Stalin's death in 1953.
In Moscow, survivors and relatives laid flowers at a stone taken from one of the first Soviet labour camps.
People lit candles and held pictures of loved ones at the sombre ceremony held across the street from the country's former KGB headquarters.
The Main Directorate for Corrective Labour Camps, also known as Gulag, ran camps in remote regions of Siberia and Russia's far north.
Vitaly Garmash was arrested in 1951 for associating with foreigners and sentenced to five years hard labour in Kazakhstan.
They deprived us of sleep until we got into the state when we were completely indifferent to what we had to sign, he said.
After Stalin's death Garmash and thousands of other prisoners were released from the camps and rehabilitated. But their jailers were never punished.
Russian President Vladimir Putin sent a wreath to today's ceremony but has sought to play down the controversies of history and play up the role of the security services.

RUSSIA: VICTIMS OF THE KGB
Eng/Russian/Nat
Every year, victims of political repression in Russia get together in the last week of October to remember those who did not survive the terrible years of Soviet repression.
During the Stalin purges of the 1930s and 1940s, more than 20 (m) million Soviets perished at the hands of the secret police, better known as the K-G-B.
Four years, five bosses and six name changes have passed since the collapse of the Soviet Union but it seems the dreaded K-G-B may still be alive and up to its old tricks.
Every year, survivors of Stalin's Gulag prison camps come to lay flowers opposite the old K-G-B headquarters in Moscow.
The monument here is a rock brought from the infamous labour camp on Solovetsky Island, one of the first established.
The long arm of the brutal Soviet secret police stretched across the former Soviet Union and Eastern Europe, claiming (m) millions of victims.
Its role was to suppress dissidents and stamp out any independent, unsanctioned activity.
Despite the collapse of Communism, Russian lawmakers complain they still have little control over the activities of Lubyanka, the headquarters of what is now known as the Federal Security Service.
Past victims of the K-G-B are still afraid - even now.
SOUNDBITE: (In Russian)
A return to the past is not just possible but we are approaching it. I'm sure of this and I'm afraid for my three sons and two grandsons. I'm in terrible fear that the times will repeat themselves and with more terrifying power.
SUPER CAPTION: Mikhail Stepanov, former political prisoner
After a year in prison, Alina Vitukhnovskaya claims she's been framed by security services.
In a Moscow court, the young poetess stands charged with drug trafficking.
After writing a series of articles on Moscow's drug culture, she was approached by security agents asking for her sources and asking her to work for them as an informer.
When she refused, she alleges they set her up.
Vitukhnovskaya and other writers are convinced the bad old days of police harassment of the intelligentsia are coming back.
SOUNDBITE: (In Russian)
Even people who have been in prison before, five or 10 years ago, they said that there has never before been such lawlessness, and that everything is returning to the old days. It's simply quite useless to fight with them on a legal basis and assert one's rights, practically impossible.
SUPER CAPTION: Alina Vitukhnovskaya, poetess
Cases like Vitukhnovskaya's have caused Western human rights organisations to speak out against the growing power of the Federal Security Service.
SOUNDBITE:
The F-S-B is a state within a state because it has its own cases, it controls, it can use wide powers in the conduct of these cases and only it controls who has access to them from the outside
SUPER CAPTION: Rachel Denber - Moscow representative Human Rights Watch Helsinki
The signs are the Security Service may well increase its influence over the next year.
At a recent conference in Moscow - entitled Strong Security Services Mean A Strong Russia - the hall was packed with present and former K-G-B agents.
Communist Party leader Gennady Zyuganov, whose party is likely to win a majority in the Russian parliament in December elections, is a strong supporter of the K-G-B.
SOUNDBITE: (In Russian)
The K-G-B was one of the most professional services which guarded state security and its thoughtless reorganisation has led to many woes which can be seen today
SUPER CAPTION: Gennady Zyuganov, Communist Party leader
Remarks like these send a shiver down the spine - not only of those who suffered at the hands of the K-G-B but those now suffering at the hands of its successor.
