As part of the implementation of the «Rukhani Zhangyru» program, students of our university conduct familiarization tours to significant places and one of such places is the Museum of Memory of Victims of Political Repression in the village of Dolinka (Karlag Museum). Students of the faculty of Metallurgy and Mechanical Engineering group PPT-21 k-5 with the curator Rakhmetova Anar Askarbaevna visited the KarLAG Museum. They received new information about the difficult years of Stalin’s repressions, learned a lot about the history of the KarLAG Museum.

The guided tour gave students the opportunity to perceive and experience the history of their region, expand their cognitive interest, instill respect for the history of their country. The most eerie part of the exposition is located in the museum’s basements. They showed cameras in which prisoners were interrogated and tortured. Visiting the museum made a heavy impression on the students, because a tragedy of this magnitude could not leave anyone indifferent. It was a reminder of how important it is not to allow this to happen again in the future.
