Press Release, 01.06.2015
YABLOKO conducted a picket near the house where Stalin’s victims were shot demanding from the authorities to open a memorial museum there. Activists handed out leaflets on the history of the place. Every Wednesday since 2011 YABLOKO’s Alexei Nesterenko has been conducting one-person picketing outside the house. His father was shot there, therefore it’s important for Nesterenko to turn the place into a memorial museum. 
The Military Collegium of the Supreme Court of the Soviet Union was situated in this house in the years of the Great Terror. “The enemies of the people” were adjudged at the place, among them were writers Isaak Babel, Boris Pilnyak, film director Vsevolod Meyerhold, marshals Mikhail Tukhachevsky and Alexander Yegorov, members of Political Bureau Nikolai Bukharin, Grigory Zinovyev, Lev Kamenyev and others.
The YABLOKO party is collecting signatures for turning the house into a museum.
Leader of North Ossetia branch of Youth Yabloko Alan Alikov and YABLOKO municipal deputy Grirogy Semyonov participated in the action.
