The "Polish Operation" of the NKVD

Tomsk

Tomsk, Kashtachnaya Gora. Site of mass executions carried out in 1937-1938. The local authorities allowed debris to be disposed of in the Kashtachnaya Gora gully, so the remains of several thousand Great Terror victims lie beneath tonnes of waste and debris.
