Moscow residents react to closure of Gulag History Museum


Moscow (AFP) – Moscow residents react after Russian authorities ordered the closure of the city’s award-winning Gulag History Museum, dedicated to the victims of Soviet-era repression. The closure was officially put down to alleged violations of fire safety regulations, but comes amid an intense Kremlin campaign against independent civil society and those who question the state’s interpretation of history.
