Perm 36 YouTube Video Visit
Last night I watched a video about a visit to Perm36 but it covered just the trip. The video below is far more complete and informative. I am currently reading Gulag by Anne Applebaum, rather than The Gulag Archipelago, like she mentions. I started reading it decades ago but never finished it. I read A day in the Life of Ivan Denisovitch in a single day.

Reading Gulag, The Gulag Archipelago and other books helps give some context to what Soviet Russia was like.
