monument, stone
A memorial to the victims of the GULAG camp network. On October 30, 1990, this monument consisting of a large stone brought from the Solovetsky Islands, was erected on Lubyanka Square, best known as the location of the headquarters of the KGB and its predecessors, the NKVD and CheKa.
This single stone slab is from the Solovetsky Island labor camp. This camp, one of the first gulags, is located on the site of an ancient monastery in the White Sea. The monument was installed in 1990 by an organization devoted to exposing the truth about Stalinism. Its inscription reads, "in memory of the millions of victims of the totalitarian regime."
