Former forced labor colony in Kuchino, Perm Krai, Russian SFSR, Soviet Union
Perm-36 was a Soviet forced labor colony located near the village of Kuchino, 100 km (60 miles) northeast of the city of Perm in Russia. It was part of the large prison camp system established by the former Soviet Union during the Stalin era, known as the Gulag. Since 1972 the camp was designated a "strict regime" and "special regime" camp used exclusively for the incarceration of "especially dangerous state criminals", mostly Soviet dissidents.
