BURIED HOPES

The horrors of the past, the wasted lives, the remains of uranium mines and labour camps. Time is slowly washing away the forgotten history in Kyrgyzstan, and the growing influence of Russia hinders efforts at studying it. Among the victims of Soviet repression there were also many Czechoslovak citizens. An expedition of the Gulag.cz organisation will visit the sites of this turbulent history in August 2024 on the occasion of the upcoming 100th anniversary of the founding of the "Interhelpo" cooperative by our compatriots in Kyrgyzstan.
