It is a very informative place to understand the difficult periods of the history of the entire Soviet people and the ancestors of people living in the post-Soviet space. It vividly conveys the pain and suffering of ordinary people. The territory and the huge barrier strongly resemble past times
An interesting place , the museum itself is small . On the ground floor there is the history of Kazakhstan, the second floor is dedicated to the history of the camp itself.
We took a taxi to the museum itself - it was difficult to call a taxi back. The waiting time was 25-30 minutes. I had to hitch a ride to Astana
Scary parenting inside...
The memorial complex in memory of the victims of political repression "ALGIERS" is a large—scale open-air structure 40 km from Nur Sultan in Kazakhstan.
It was here that the infamous Akmola camp of wives of traitors to the motherland was located, where thousands of women were held in different years (from 1938 to 1953), whose fault was only that they were simply the wives of arrested, shot "enemies of the people".
A place that everyone must visit. Emotions flow over the edge when visiting this complex. Everyone should know these tragic years in the life of our country...
I just strongly recommend visiting this memorial. The museum opens the sad and sad history of our country, the tragedy of the Kazakh and the entire Soviet people. Tears flow seeing how people suffered. The senseless sacrifices, the incredible cruelty of the entire NKVD system of that time and at the same time the kindness of the Kazakh people.
It is wonderful that the memory of political repression is preserved and passed on to posterity.
I haven't been to the museum itself, but the open-air exposition is excellent. When I read about those times, I imagined higher security towers.
Be sure to visit this museum!

The museum staff are tsk-tsk. They came up seven times and made a remark not to make noise. The children did not scream and behaved calmly. The museum staff is following closely behind. Once they said it was enough. We couldn't really see the museum because of annoying employees.
We paid for the tickets. The tour of the schoolchildren was noisy, no comments were made to them. Our children were quiet against their background.
There are few exhibits.
Camp Algiers.
Visiting this museum, one plunges into history, an era that tells about the highest human qualities, faith, love, perseverance, bravery, and patriotism.
Even greed and meanness sowing fear could not blacken the bright dream of the participants in the events of that time, a dream that is a reality today - NOT ADDICTION!
It is a very significant place for all residents of the Republic of Kazakhstan. The museum complex, the decorations on the street, as well as the buildings preserved from those times convey the full burden of finding women and children in that camp.
It's an awesome museum. I often bring guests from other cities to this museum. But the guides are busy all the time. An audio guide will never replace a person. Therefore, we ask the museum staff to increase the number of human guides.
Each of us shed tears. The topic itself is heartbreaking, painfully familiar to everyone. The horror in my eyes that it was here, here I stand on this land where human destinies were broken. Guided tours are available, you can listen to the audio presentation yourself.
