May 31 is the day of remembrance of one of the most tragic pages in the history of Kazakhstan - mass political repressions and a terrible famine that caused the death of millions of people. Every year, since 1997, Kazakhstan celebrates the Day of Remembrance of Victims of Political Repressions.
During the years of repression, more than 5 million people were exiled to the camps created on the territory of our country. Moreover, according to other sources, the total number of convicts significantly exceeds this figure. But this does not mean that only people were exiled to Kazakhstan. In the republic itself, in the period from 1921 to 1954, 100 thousand people were convicted, and 25 thousand of them were sentenced to capital punishment - execution. On the occasion of the Day of Remembrance of the Victims of Political Repressions, a book-illustrated exhibition “Guilty Fates without Guilt” was organized in the college library, thematic class hours were held in groups.
