Thirty years after the fall of the USSR, we have found one of the last witnesses of Stalinist repression.
From his past, he has kept a dull melancholy and the habit of crossing his hands behind his back, the obligatory posture in the presence of a guard. In 1953, Viktor Antonovich Bulgakov was sentenced to 25 years of hard labor in one of those penitentiaries where, from the 1920s to the 1960s, Soviet barbarism was exercised: 20 million people imprisoned, more than 4 million dead. . The NGO Memorial is finding it increasingly difficult to convey this part of Russian history. Thanks to her, we have collected the memories of this survivor.
A report to find in number 3780 of Paris Match.
