ВИЗУАЛЬНЫЕ СВИДЕТЕЛЬСТВА СОВЕТСКОГО ПРОШЛОГО: ОСОБЕННОСТИ ПРАКТИК КОММЕМОРАЦИИ В СОВРЕМЕННОМ ИНДУСТРИАЛЬНОМ ГОРОДЕ
VISUAL EVIDENCE OF THE SOVIET PAST: FEATURES COMMEMORATION PRACTICES IN THE MODERN INDUSTRIAL CITY

Summary/Abstract: The article covers the problem of disappearing and returning past on the example of tragic events of 1930s. Not only the names, but also the faces of people that had suffered from the unjust accusations and cruel sentences, being concealed for a long time by the regime, were opened only in the 1990s. Besides the memorial complex to the victims of political repressions placed the 12th kilometer of Moscow highway in Ekaterinburg, we have the State Archive of the Sverdlovsk region. The employees of the State Archive hold exhibitions allowing seeing the judicial and investigatory records carried out in 1930s. These visual documents give evidences of the absurd accusations (e. g., the record of teachers convicted for the damage of the portraits of Stalin and other Soviet leaders that were shot in unintentionally by pupils).
