We had recovered for the Perm party not so early, so we take the road to Yekaterimburg, the road is not so long, but we take a long different road to visit one Gulag.
A Gulag was the concentration camp in the Sovietunion. Gulags were used as a prisons for regular criminals. But there were also a big amount of political prisoners, the people who disagree the soviet way of thinking. The Gulag we visited was only for political prisoners.

The life in the Gulag was so hard because the cold conditions, poor alimentation and the forced works. Prisoners were forced to works until they die.

When the visit was over, we had a very long drive to Yekaterimburg, almost 10 hours of random roads.

Finally, we arrived to Yana’s home, nice girl, she lives alone, she’s only 19 and she has travelled a lot yet. She offered us a great dinner and when we were installed, we went to her friend’s home with the Yekaterimburg metro. We had some Vodka shots, shared our stories, lots of laughs: we had really nice evening and we come back home to have rest.
