Museum of Victims of Political Repression

TIME : 2016/2/17 14:42:16

In this small museum photos and documents on Soviet oppression in Kazakhstan and its most celebrated victims surround a central sculpture showing freedom-striving figures restrained by a Soviet banner. A 200T booklet with some English text (if available) helps in understanding what’s here.

Equally sobering is Alleya Slavy in the park across the street, lined with plaques bearing the names of the more than 140,000 people from the south Kazakhstan region who lost their lives during WWII.
