Magadan Exposition Maps Gulag History and Hidden Wounds
A Magadan museum exhibit revisits the Stalin era slave labor camps that carved the Kolyma region.Visitors explore yellowed newspapers, barbed wire, and graves marked by D-14 and V-14 as guides recount mass graves, transport by sea and road, and the city built by prisoners. The exhibit stirs mixed feelings among locals about confronting painful history while expanding Soviet era tourism tied to Alaska flights.
