Будущее и прошлое тюрьмы, которую решено продать / Редакция контекст
The Kresty pre—trial detention center, which was put up for auction, is one of the largest and most famous insulators in Russia, which opened already in 1892 and during this time managed to acquire a legendary history. The Bolshevik Trotsky, the poet Brodsky, Marshal Rokossovsky, the actor Zhzhenov were sitting there, and Anna Akhmatova wrote the poem "Requiem" about the "Crosses" — one of the most poignant texts of the XX century.
In the new issue of "Editorial. Context" we decided to conduct a kind of tour of the "Crosses" — both the prison itself and the fate of its prisoners.
