The Gulag History Museum: SURVIVORS. Graphic Novels based on Gulag former prisoners' true stories

The GULAG History Museum, a museum in Russia, increased visitors by creating a graphic novel that told the true recollections of the Gulag victims.

What is Survivors?

"Survivors" is a collection of the graphic novels based on true stories of the GULAG's former prisoners.

GULAG was a system of numerous Soviet labor camps where many people were wrongfully imprisoned and forced to work to death. GULAG is considered by many as a major instrument of political repression in the Soviet Union.

"Survivors" is a joint non-profit project of the GULAG History Museum, BBDO Moscow, CROS, CrosDigital and Mint distributed in digital and printed formats. For printed version of "Survivors" money was raised on a crowdfunding platform Planeta.ru
