The GULAG History Museum presents the sixth film from the My GULAG project – the memoirs of Zoya Ivanovna Vyskrebentseva. Zoya Ivanovna Vyskrebentseva was born on January 30, 1924 in Moscow. At the time of her arrest, she worked in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, in a fingerprinting laboratory. She was arrested on March 15, 1948, sentenced under Article 58-1a to 20 years in a labor camp and sent to a camp in Mordovia, Potma station, Yavas settlement. She was rehabilitated in 1956. The memories of people who were affected by the repressions have been collected by the GULAG History Museum since June 2013 as part of the My GULAG project, the goal of which is to create an archive of interviews united by the theme of the GULAG, and to actualize the memory of a phenomenon that has long been actively displaced from the mental space of our compatriots and has remained an unconscious and unlived experience.
