About the project
The Memsearch search system allows for searching simultaneously in all databases and resources of the Memorial association and other organisations.
The search system is only capable of searching and presenting results in the Russian language. This is because the databases are kept in Russian, and any automated translation of data into English can be rather inexact, especially when it comes to technical terminology.

The search system encompasses the resources of the Memorial association and other memory projects in Krasnoyarsk, Moscow, Perm, Ryazan, St. Petersburg, the Perm-36 memorial centre. and the Gulag.cz project (Czech Republic). We are working on adding new data sources.
