FOREIGNERS IN THE GULAG:
The PRICE of UTOPIA
The GULAG became a trap not only for Soviet citizens but also for foreigners who, by fate or by conviction, found themselves in the Soviet Union. Among them were diplomats, politicians, priests, revolutionaries, and émigrés. Some believed in the “land of justice,” others fought against it. Yet all faced the same system: arrests, camps, torture, and death.
The Executed Renaissance
The Executed Renaissance was not only the tragedy of individuals. It was the deliberate destruction of a whole generation that could have defined Ukraine’s cultural future.
Books, paintings, plays, philosophical works — annihilated along with their creators. Yet some risked their lives to save manuscripts and canvases. Thanks to them, we know today: Ukraine had its own Renaissance — and it was executed.
It was the murder of the future. And it reminds us now: until such crimes are named and condemned, they can happen again.
