Perm-36 — The Forgotten Register

🎭Your Mission

You are an investigative journalist, autumn 1990, assigned to uncover the suppressed truths of political repression in Perm.

Your mission begins at the Monument to the Victims of Political Repressions in Perm,

Delve into Perm, in the Urals, to uncover the silenced voices of Stalin's political repressions.

The story that haunts this land

Votre quête démarre au Mémorial des victimes des répressions politiques, érigé par l'organisation Memorial. Ce point central du boulevard Komsomolski, une avenue de 2,5 km pavée dans les années 1930 et nommée Komsomol dans les années 1920, fut le théâtre de rassemblements politiques. Vous y ressentez l'écho des dissidents des années 1970-1980, dont beaucoup furent incarcérés à Perm-36. La stèle de granit de 5 mètres de hauteur, symbolisant les barreaux d'une prison, vous confronte immédiatement à la dureté du régime soviétique et au patrimoine du Goulag à Perm.

À seulement 300 mètres du mémorial, l'Université d'État de Perm, fondée en 1916, se dresse avec son bâtiment principal néoclassique de 1920-1922. Cet établissement, l'un des plus anciens des Oural, a formé de nombreux intellectuels persécutés sous Staline. Le campus central de 15 hectares, avec ses colonnes doriques, abrite les fantômes de ceux qui, comme certains détenus de Perm-36, ont vu leur savoir et leurs idées réprimés. Le circuit historique de Perm vous plonge dans ces lieux de savoir et de résistance.

Poursuivant votre balade sur Komsomolski Prospekt, vous atteignez le Théâtre-Théâtre de Perm, fondé en 1989. Installé dans un bâtiment historique de 1870, ce théâtre d'avant-garde, à 500 mètres du point de départ, a mis en scène des spectacles sur la censure soviétique et les dissidents des années 1970. Sa surface scénique de 400 m² et sa capacité de 350 spectateurs ont été le cadre d'œuvres soulignant la double nature artistique et politique de cette période. C'est un point clé pour comprendre la vie culturelle de Perm sous le joug.

Le parcours vous mène ensuite au Musée régional d'État de Perm, fondé en 1870. Situé à 800 mètres du départ dans un manoir de 1851, il abrite une collection de 500 000 objets sur l'histoire des répressions politiques dans les Oural. Ses expositions permanentes sur le Goulag et Perm-36, ouvertes depuis 1995 dans ses 28 salles, vous offrent un aperçu factuel des horreurs passées. Proche, la promenade fluviale de 3 km le long de la Kama, aménagée en 2007, offre un point de vue symbolique sur les déportations par barge vers les camps des Oural dans les années 1940-1950. C'est un site protégé patrimonial depuis 2010.

Votre exploration du patrimoine des Oural se conclut devant le Monument à Boris Pasternak, inauguré en 1990 à 1,2 km du point de départ. Cette sculpture en bronze de 4,5 mètres commémore la visite de l'écrivain à Perm en 1958, liée à son œuvre 'Docteur Jivago'. Pasternak, lui-même persécuté par le régime soviétique, incarne le sort de nombreux dissidents. Ce circuit thématique à Perm vous aura permis de retracer le chemin de ces figures oubliées et de comprendre l'ampleur des répressions politiques qui ont marqué la région et l'histoire de Perm, vous offrant une perspective unique sur le tourisme mémoriel en Russie.
