The Moscow Gulag Museum will be repurposed to focus on Nazi crimes during World War II, commemorating victims of genocides committed by both Nazi Germany and the Soviet regime.
The Moscow Gulag Museum, which has documented the Soviet-era concentration camp system under dictator Joseph Stalin, is set to undergo a transformation into a museum dedicated to Nazi crimes committed during World War II. This change represents a significant shift in the museum's focus, as it will now not only address the atrocities of the Gulag system but also highlight the crimes of Nazi Germany against the Soviet people. The museum, which has been closed since November 2024 due to reported fire safety concerns, announced this shift on its website, indicating an intention to memorialize 'the victims of the genocide of the Soviet people' and to cover all aspects of Nazi war crimes.
