Documents of the Tomsk transit prison
All these files were discovered by chance by employees of Tomsk Pre-trial Detention Center No. 1 in 2023 in a half-flooded room of one of the buildings of the pre-trial detention center. As unsuitable for archival storage due to fungal damage and loss of some materials, they were written off and subject to destruction. At the request of the employees of the Memorial Museum V. Uimanov and V. Khanevich, they were preserved and transferred to the museum for study. Scanning of the documents was performed by V. Khanevich in 2025.
