The place made a deep impression on our family. It is sad to realize that because of the devotion of wives and sisters to their men, they were put in such difficult conditions. They deprived their husbands and children, broke them mentally and physically. There are famous names, Tukhachevskaya, the mother of Ruslanovry, Okudzhava and Plisetskaya. Women of all nationalities, from all republics, a great country at that time. We came here by taxi on our own and received an adequate audio guide and a short film memory in Russian. The staff is friendly and decent. When buying tickets, while I was receiving headphones and an audio guide, I forgot to pick up the change, so the cashier waited for me at the exit and gave me everything, Rahmet! The exposition is very interesting, there are small reconstructions that allow you to visualize past events. I recommend a family visit, children should know the history of their country, both bright moments and black heritage.

It is useful and interesting to look at the events of a story that is closed to many. The first president of Kazakhstan, Nursultan Nazarbayev, there is a memorial plaque there, writes that it is necessary to tell everyone about those times so that this does not happen again. In order to improve historical literacy and broaden horizons, I recommend it to everyone. The exposition is not large, but it is high-quality and interesting. The entrance is not expensive. The only negative is that there is a poultry farm somewhere nearby, according to local residents, it has characteristic odors. I recommend 5+ to everyone.
