PHOTO-EXHIBITION DEVOTED TO MEMORY OF STALIN’S REPRESSIONS VICTIMS IN ABKHAZIA HELD IN CENTRAL SHOWROOM
19/08/2009 17:20 ABKHAZIA, SUKHUM
A photo-exhibition devoted to the memory of Stalin’s repressions
victims in Abkhazia is held in the Central Showroom. The author of the
project is a senior researcher for the Abkhaz State Museum Diana Akhba.
This exhibition is a bigger project’s stage. Only a part of the
materials collected by the historian for ten months of work on the
project is presented here. 56 photos, documents covering 1937-1938
tragic events are hung on the stands. Visitors can also familiarize
themselves with letters and diaries of the Abkhaz GULAG prisoners and
other documents. “Out of a great number of tragic events in the
history of Abkhazia the early 30th – early 50th repressions period was
the most terrible as well as for the Soviet Union. When it is a
question of this tragic period they usually speak about 1937 because
repressions against “enemies of the people” in Abkhazia were at their
zenith that very year”, Diana Akhba said. The author of the exhibition
believes the exposition would be more striking and would reproduce the
30th atmosphere if it was exhibited in Nestor Lakoba’s museum which
does not function yet.
The author of the project intends to
hold photo-exhibitions devoted to Stalin’s repressions victims in the
Gudauta, Gagra, Ochamchira, Tkuarchal and Gal district.
Diana Akhba continues work on collecting materials and evidence on Stalin-Beria’s repressions in Abkhazia.
This project is supported by the President of the Republic of Abkhazia.
