On October 30, a public lecture by Doctor of Economics Yevgeny Gontmakher was held at the Gorky library as part of events commemorating victims of political repression.

More than 50 people came to the Gorky library to listen to the lecture: students, history teachers, representatives of state and municipal authorities, civic activists.

Welcoming the audience, Commissioner for Human Rights in the Perm Territory Pavel Mikov spoke about the unconditional importance of not only an emotional, but also a scientific approach to studying the era of «great terror».

The lecture aroused keen interest of participants, having opened new chapters of the complex topic that has yet to be studied and analyzed.
