Perm-36 (also known as ITK-6) was a Soviet forced labor camp located near the village of Kuchino, 100 km (60 m) northeast of the city of Perm in Russia, part of the large prison camp system run by the Soviet Union (now Russia) in the Stalin era known as the Gulag. Built in 1946 and closed December 1987, the camp was preserved as a museum in 1994 by the private Russian human rights organization Memorial and since 1995 has been open to the public as The Museum of the History of Political Repression Perm-36 (known popularly as the Gulag Museum) operated by the private non-commercial organization Memorial Center of Political Repression "Perm-36" It is the only remaining example of a Gulag labor camp, the others having been demolished by the Soviet government at the dissolution of the Soviet Union.
During recent years, the museum has seen a withdrawal of support and funding by regional government organizations, which forced it to close in April 2014. Coming during a period of renewed popularity and nostalgia in Russia for the Soviet era and patriotism due to the Crimean crisis, this is seen by many as an organized campaign against the Museum. Russian media and some nationalist organisations, e.g. Sut' Vremeni, started describing the museum as a fifth column.
