The
Akmola Concentrational
Camp for Wives of Traitors to the Motherland is a notorious place where more
than 18 thousand unfortunate wives of the so-called "public enemies"
were imprisoned. They were considered “socially dangerous and capable of
anti-Soviet actions”. It is impossible to hold back tears here, but you cannot
miss a visit to this memorial complex either. There is the famous “Arch of
Sorrow”, one should bow one's head while passing through it.
Transportation wagons, barracks where women lived, are also displayed
here.
ALZHIR
Museum is a frightening, but very important place, clearly demonstrating what
dictatorship can lead to.
